Like the ebb and flow of tides on the sea,
He rocks in and out of me.
In my mind, I lie on the sandy beach
Staring blankly at the waves, trying in vain to reach...what?
I feel nothing.
I turn my head, hiding my tears from prying eyes.
He knows something's wrong, sees the pain I can't disguise
But what can he do? He feels as helpless as I.
We grind and thrust to no end, I silently cry.
I am lost.
Go ahead and come, I tell him with my gaze.
His concern is evident even as his hips raise
Against mine. His eyes ask: What about you?
The familiar lie: It's all right, do what you have to do.
I feel cheated.
He is free to move, pounding towards release.
I have no choice but to hang on, waiting for him to cease
And I weep inside for all I miss,
I drown in the sorrow that begins from the first kiss...
I am numb.

Bootaalmost 18 years agoWow! I love that! I've talked to so many women friends who have tried to explain that feeling, and you just told me all I needed to know in a few lines.
Anonymousalmost 18 years agoWow... not often is a perspective so clearly understood in short bursts of emotion. The view as seen through her eyes - like a memory - yearning to experience something unknown ... something deserved and endlessly deprived... I truely felt the deepened sorrow... the unyielding questions as to why so lost... so painfully alone...
RedHairedandFriendlyalmost 18 years agoI read your words and saw myself. Each tear you shed was one I too have shed. The whispered. . ."It's okay, is the same one I have whispered too." Kiss my friend. ~ Red
