You cried out–
“Keep it away!”
You code it with no emotion.
I said,
“I’ll keep it away!”
And I never talked about anything
I just wanted to hear you breathe–
Keep it away!
All gone.
It’s all gone now.
And somehow–
I still love you?
I dream.
I dream of thoughts unspoken
“Control your woman!”
I dream.
But you said to stop!
Keep it away from me!!
But I dreamed.
I dream
I dream
I dream!
With you!
Not against you.
Fuck you.
