PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

A faint smile

plays upon my lips

and I look away

hoping that you won't notice,

For the nights are sweet,

languid,

long in your arms,

and if you only knew

how much you meant

you'd leave in such a swift,

torrential,

thunderstorm of silent judgments

and i'd cry

but only inside

[my tears have long since

long since...

it's been a long time

since I cried over you]

It's been a long time since

you even cared at all,

Though we feign concern

out of duty, guilt, or anguish...

[What's that charming phrase?

Staying together

for the sake of the cat?]

But damn it we both know

you love that cat more

more than I will ever know
