Musings by The Poet Loriet
After
After our secret two a.m. torrent,
after your tail-lights disappeared,
after your last kiss evaporated,
after I became numb again,
after the secret of our lovemaking faded,
after the blood stopped throbbing in my veins,
after I became sleepy and
rolled over to reach for you,
I remembered you were gone
like yesterday morning's stale coffee...
Only then, did I cry
like a little girl
trapped
in a strange woman's body.

after your tail-lights disappeared,
after your last kiss evaporated,
after I became numb again,
after the secret of our lovemaking faded,
after the blood stopped throbbing in my veins,
after I became sleepy and
rolled over to reach for you,
I remembered you were gone
like yesterday morning's stale coffee...
Only then, did I cry
like a little girl
trapped
in a strange woman's body.
