[We that used to be]

We lie together in the night
Face to face
Side to side
Heat rising beneath
Our backs.
Groping through the dark
Crying at the climax
Bitter tears blinding
All our lies.

You inside
And nothing to say.

I miss the we
The entity that used to be
The ease of our duality.
Ask me again
Plead into my ear
Let me believe
The we that used to be
Exists still in you
Still in me.

We part gradually
Taking waking slow
My foot in front
And yours behind.
You take your tea
I the morning coffee
Sitting closely
Thighs caressing
And nothing to say.

And there, I dream
Is where we let it be.

I miss the we
The entity that used to be
The ease of our duality.
Ask me again
Oh, plead into my ear
Just let me believe
The we that used to be
Exists ever still in you
Still in me.

I see him behind my eyes
Every time I come
To the edges of your skin
And back again
To the limits of the
Guilts ignored.
The tingling thrill
Of all our sins.

Everything exposed
With nothing to say.

I miss the we
The entity that used to be
The ease of our duality.
Ask me again
Please, plead into my ear
I can’t believe
I won’t believe
The we that used to be
Exists no longer in you
Not still in me.
