your name is still on me (adult)
by Olivia Weinkeinhe has been gone for less than thirty minutes.
i had to almost peel him from my bed because
he does not understand that he being here at all
is an invasion of my senses. nevermind that his
finger had been inside of me moments before i
told him to drive safe. drive safe. just make it home.
but who really was i talking to.
the smell of him is on my hands, is on my skin
and although i had (have) so much control over
him, i can't help but feel like a stranger.
i can't help but feel like i should say to myself
"i'm sorry. i'm so sorry."
but it must be said that he is not a monster.
he's beautiful and full of laughter and
he kissed me on my forehead so i know it could
be love if only i would let it.
if only i could let it.
boy, you've fucked me up more than i will ever
let you know. and because of this, i have to
let him go.
because of You, i have to let anyone go who
threatens to erase what you are to me,
who threatens to show me how much better
love can be if only i would let it.
if only i could let it.
