Happy Child Aftermath
by S.J. Tylerawake together
in bed together
You were hurt
by another
of that evil species
men are only an evil species
when they hurt You
groping for them
calling out to them
but theres no answer
do they see you?
not the way i see You
not the way You need them to
bursting with excitement and laughter
Youre a child again
you had a bad childhood
but this is different
this is fun
for You
not for me
because i cant help thinking
about what i could do
given the chance
but i digress
i was given a chance
my fingers danced
silky smooth skin
expressive red lips
my cracked lips of corruption
sponging that neck
like a toothless vampire
unable to make the kill
i couldnt fulfill
whatever needs you had
now i sit on your bed
pushing You to the evil species
who may not be so evil after all
for they can give You what i cant
the Thing You want so deeply
excitement
heart racing
this time Yours
not mine
mine has gone into hibernation
thats carried over to other loves
freezing her out
not being able to cry
as i crash through her ears
to her heart
but You bounce on the mattress
happy again
and I cant help but tell myself
that I did it
I pushed you
to find him
to talk to him
to giggle over him
and now you are giddy
I gave you that
Me
a terrible friend
i am
a terrible friend
