a lover’s lament
I once had a lover who insisted on keeping me waiting. This poem is about that.

a lover’s lament
i count the days
we spend a/part
the sleeps before
my heart restarts
clocks tick tock
the hours and minutes
push my patience
to the limit
my body aches,
is full of longing,
i dream of kissing
close and fondling
the bits of you
i miss the most
on which I’d rather
overdose!
