I am

both shades

of midnight

when you

slip into

my mind

*

tell me again

that she wasn’t

as good as me

when you

explored her skin

instead of mine

*

the things

left unsaid

burn in my chest

look at me

a black hole

playing human

*Published in and still (the cherita book 37)

*tell me again and the things left unsaid were designated as a cherita lighthouse (editor’s choice)
