These Things You Loved

 

You said you loved my cooking.

The way my lasagna slipped over your fork

Delicately caressing your taste buds

On its pathway to the dark cavern

Of your tummy.

 

You loved my hands,

The soft silky way they stroked your back.

The way they soothed your tired feet.

My long white nails strafing you

In secret places.

 

You loved my wavy copper hair

Trailing across your skin

Leaving faint shivers in its wake.

Reminding you of tall grass

And ecstasy.

 

But when it was done and over.

All the things you loved

Were empty promises of never.

And of the things you loved.

The most important thing,

You didn�t.

 

Me.
