I left my sheets dishevelled
Curtains closed
I left your clothes astray
Innocence chased away
Your essence setting with the sun
Where you run.
The windows hung open
Latch up, unlocked
Here I lay, afraid
Kept all my love to myself
Left all my lust in someone else
He offered cheap imitations
You gave loving relations.
–
I left his sheets dishevelled
Curtains closed
I left my clothes astray
Innocence chased away
A love letter, you sent it
A goodbye, he wept it
A doorbell chimed, I crept
Leapt, beneath the sheets,
Beaten by love.
Tethered by lust.
