Us
entwined,
your hard biceps
holding fast
to my curves.
We shared the
secrets of ourselves.
I knew you.
Today we are strangers.
The sooner you go,
The happier I'll be.
That wasn't what I meant.

Thank you, my friend!

Those tragic hearts-broken when the dawn turns secret sharing lovers into strangers once again.

ReplyDeleteThe emptiness of a one-night-stand... Great job. Love the title, too.
ReplyDeleteWell-written piece showing feelings of returning lonliness after a brief encounter.
ReplyDeleteHappy endings (the literary kind) are awesome and all, but the sad ones hit old nerves and bring back bittersweet memories. I like those best of all.
