Things That May Never Last

Things that may never again last;

the memory of your coffee cream skin,

your earthly black hair

your tight shirts and loose slacks,

your slippers

your subtle lips,

the ones that I;

I long  to kiss.

the hair that I;

I want to caress.

the body I would wake up to cook breakfast for;

you;

you’re my missing page in this chapter of life…..

these are the things that may never last….

I will bear the weight of loss….

I will lose.

I will lose you.

An unwritten chapter…..

Unfinished love….

unrequited for I have loved you in both my mind and in my heart.

And babe;

believe me;

they’re all motherfucking jealous….
