How could I be invisible
When my deep breaths
Soured your still throat,
My cherry lips fermented
The spit on your tongue?
You devoured the words
I murmured, I whispered
Between your pale cheek
And your hot, shaking chin
That I touched, I nursed.
I lay down beside you
When you ended the day
Too early without sunset
And trapped the night
To bear its wee morning.
How could you not see
When I heard every word
You tried, you struggled
To utter, to say, to mumble
That you waited for me?
When my deep breaths
Soured your still throat,
My cherry lips fermented
The spit on your tongue?
You devoured the words
I murmured, I whispered
Between your pale cheek
And your hot, shaking chin
That I touched, I nursed.
I lay down beside you
When you ended the day
Too early without sunset
And trapped the night
To bear its wee morning.
How could you not see
When I heard every word
You tried, you struggled
To utter, to say, to mumble
That you waited for me?
