Untitled II

by A. Fleury - Libra

When I kissed him
I knew there was no turning back
He was mine

But did I want to be his?
I don't know, I still don't know
He laid me down
I cried in pain, I cried in pleasure
He was one with me, I could see it in his eyes
Blue like a summer sky

Later, outside, the clouds turnd their twilight color
A murky violet
I saw myself in the mirror
Rumpled sheets around me
Staring up at the ceiling
Cigarette smoke making the air thick, my eyes burn and water, I could hear the mummering of corny sitcoms from the room next door
I lay in the muggy hot air of this cheap motel
With my body naked and wet, slicked with sweat, slick
with other fluids of passion long gone, and pleasures spent

And he was gone.

    I dunno, I like this one. Sounds personal, but it's not, actually.
