You do.

by Beth - Scorpio

Sometimes 
the way you look inside me 
and just 
know things…. 
leaves me in awe of you. 

You may not know that 
I have a small mole –four actually- 
on my left breast 
yet you know the feel of my head 
resting on your shoulder 
though it never has 

You may not know that 
I never put sugar 
in my tea 
but somehow you seem to know that 
space in the crook of my neck 
that fits your lips 
so perfectly 
though they have never kissed me 
there or anywhere 

You may not know 
I sit with my feet and legs 
curled beneath me 
because I have never been fond of them 
yet somehow you know 
that if you touch me 
lightly behind the knees 
I will laugh out loud and buckle 
beneath you 

You don’t know that 
my favourite colour is a deep 
dark red or that I wear it well 
You don’t know that 
I like to sprinkle instant coffee on vanilla ice cream 
 or that pistachio’s are my favourite nuts 
or that my skin is seven different shades of sin 

yet somehow 





you do.
