when you kissed her neck
did you think of my voice
when you gripped her wrists
did my laugh cross your mind
when you buried your head in her chest
did our memories resurface?

when you finished
and looked down on her
hair wild , face flushed
did you see my eyes
or did you see the eyes
of a placeholder
