"I missed you" he whispered
I knew it wasn't our mystical conversations
Just this sweet mouth
Willing warmth
It was about closure
Feeling something else
But morning would come
And hold what we were running from
What we were always running from or to
Love and libido
That one screw that makes you forget
Did that life ever happen?
Until it's walking out the door
And you remember it all again
You promise yourself it will be the last time
But it never is
That one stupid person
With that one stupid thing
That makes you forget how much every other stupid person before them
Hurt you
And before you know it you're lost in their stupid little hips, lips and dips
Like some beggar in the street
And your heart isn't your own anymore
Your body
Your mind
Your soul
Have betrayed you
Trapped you in this emotional cage
Love is a game of carnage
No one gets out undamaged
No one gets out whole
Libido is a game of ego
You stroke mine
I'll stroke yours
And everyone leaves a foot taller than they were before
If you've done it right
