Thoughts After Sex

17.

we shared the same bed,

we shared the same sheets,

but we do not share

the same heartbeats.

mine is too loud,

for it beats for you

and only you,

as loud

as the musics you play

while you are dancing

to perfrom.

yours is quite low,

for it has been with someone

for too long.

someone whom you truly love

and not you truly like.

someone who is your

only one

and that is not me.

for i am the number two,

an option,

a fallback.
