when sex isn't enough

by Emily Davidson

any time you
dial me
i'm waiting
and i'm there
like your life support

i'll listen to your
stupid stories or
your ridiculous banter
and offer you my best insight
on request

in your bed i'll kiss you
earnestly
and hold you in your sleep;
make love to you like the king
i think you are

but you don't think i'm
anything
because i didn't go to oxford
and i don't write for the times
maybe the support and the sex
aren't enough
maybe love doesn't count for
anything anymore
