Unwilling and Unknowing (Free verse) by Morvium
I can easily recall
how sweet your body smelled
as my nose pressed into your shoulder.
And how I would reach out, tentatively,
and touch that empty flesh.
Turned away from me
cool and indifferent
and yet radiating fire within.
I always wondered
why
you were so afraid
to let go of yourself
and find comfort in all I offered.
I wished you weren't so afraid to see
how far my heart could carry you.
But you could never spread those wings for me.
And so I find contentment
in those things that
never were.
And every night
I go to sleep
with my nose buried in your shoulder again.
I revel in that smell
that touch
that feeling you made me feel.
And I remember you always,
unwilling and unknowing.
