6-30 in the tiki room

Polite.
Listening.
Shock in your,
delicate,
practiced,
eyelashes.

Yet
You let him
whisper, tongue,
in your ears,
fiddling,
stiff, bored, confused,
flattering, playing,
you left,
I didn't want you too.

While others sang,
heart, mind,
he smacked the waiter,
with abuse he felt,
the cycle of his past,
buzzing, smoldering,
in his fingertips,
raking my thighs,
waiting,
patience,
flirtation,
done, he left,
smiling cause he knew,
moments pass,

cracks,
knots,
his heart gathers,
while his back grieves,
searching, flipping,
searching, drinking,
what does he have?
slamming, offering,
you will, dammit, you will,
he never takes no,
but he cannot leave,
he cannot,
he won't let himself,
so I do,
before I am gathered too
