It's the way he kept grabbing my jaw

when he'd kiss me

Pull me forward by the neck. 

I feel sorry if he had regrets

because I'm replaying it in my head.

I've wanted no man

in two years

and he's not what I'd expect.

It's only physical but

he's so good at feigning affection.

I don't want strings

just movement

just closeness

but never tethered 

Hold me close.

and let me go 

when I am ready. 


Bits and pieces 

it's just enough 

Lips to neck

and hands that lock.
