Poetry Anthology

A letter to a potential lover

I don't want your commitment.
I don't need emotional attachment.
I don't need you to be faithful.
I don't even need you to stay after every night we're together.
All I need is for you to fulfill my every fantasy.
For you to know that I don't hold your heart or let alone have a place within it.
An that you don't hold mine or have a place within mine.
I just need you're body close, to warm me up at night.
To thaw out my cold.
Your sweet caress and velvety whispers.
In me there would be no wife.
No one to introduce to your parents.
No.
In me there would be no love.
I want you to know that if you ever told me you loved.
I'd be sure to leave and never return.

-M
