Stealing Kelli

by Elisa Hinson - Aquarius

She liked him

And I would
Watch her

Twirling about
The room
Oh! How does
This one look?
Or maybe this?
And I would 
Search her
Over for any
Imperfection
My eyes always
Stopping on
Those perfect
French manicured
Toes

I loved her

And I would
Sit through

All those
Dinners and 
Movies
And late night
Tirades
All her 
Insecurities
On full display
And I would 
Ignore
How he always
Seemed to
Look at me
So obvious
But never to
Her

He liked me

And I knew
I could use it

So one night
He came over
While she was
Still at work
And I let her
Walk in on

Me on top
My foot in
His mouth
And other
Parts
Somewhere 
Else

She hated him

And me

But friendship
Has a way
Of working 
Things out
And one night
She leaned
Her head on 
My chest
And said

I feel safe
Here

Then she rolled
Over and I 
Got my chance
To taste those
Tiny little toes

And now I know

She loves me

And nothing 
Will come
Between us
Again
