Faithful

this isn’t meant to last forever 

he whispers into my neck

it aches 

under my ribs

I am the rot that grows in humidity 

I am the mud on his shoes

I’m starved next to you

satiate hunger with lust

I can feel your hands your caress 

wax stains

the taste of you 

soap on skin 

it stops 

when we’re like this 

brief reprieves 

burning of regret 

in their comfort

in this wetness–

The tendering of his hand 

my body 

how it aches

One thought on “Faithful”

  1. okay wait wait I feel like I’m not reading this the way you wrote it like I love how you use “I” “he” and “you” bc it actually could change the meaning so much and I love it – dude you’ve been holding out on me, why haven’t you let me read these before :’)
