Our visits are tender; but all too brief. Stolen time together; energy released. Goodbyes are too tearful; promises are made. The visit is over; we each go our ways. The day was a dream; it just had to be. A new day beginning; his cold words for me. No surprises here; we've been there before. The guilt's taken over; "We'll visit no more." His words are like daggers; straight to my heart. He doesn't mean to hurt me; it tears him apart. Long days pass so slowly; the need is soul deep. The pain has since faded; guilt won’t defeat. We meet again hungry; temptation's command. The scene is familiar; our bodies demand. These visits expected; the reasons are so. His- to make me happy; mine- I can't let go.

Thank you. There are so many talented writers here. I am not actually new, just been a long time absent. It is nice to see many here from a while ago. |
