zak

I sit amongst you
With the circle of men
In their stiff blue suits
Ablivious to our quick glances
Up at your eyes
Down to the long yellow paper
Over to the cold, stale coffee
Back to you

I touch my wedding ring
Move it up and down
Noticing the contrasting white skin underneath
My name is called
confusion unnoticed with an intentional charming smile
I speak to the suits with words that mean nothing
I glance to you for an approving gesture
Hoping nothing came through

You like telling the observant ones
That you like me that we are just good friends
I like telling these observant ones
That you're married. I am married.
How dare they insult my integrity!

How dare I insult my own integrity? I ask myself.
Integrity can be Love's enemy.
Can I give you up for my peace of mind?
Yes, I could.
But my soul says stay.

I love this mcclain...it's so very well written. It all came together good and it left me with something to think about. Great job!

humming madly
filling my head
with blood
and sorrow
and dread
the executioner's song."
