She Calls For Another Drink of You

    Does anything make you feel guilty?
    Such as memories that drift in and out of your mind
    or perhaps, the sinful taste of chocolate.
    What about when you reach up to touch,
    the marble steps where your pride once walked.

    She thought you knew her heart was breaking
    still she would be waiting for you
    with purple ink seeping from her pores.
    Did you know then
    how such a narrow field of silence
    would have her tripping
    over her own bittersweet lines?

    She watched you read those pages repeatedly
    smiling like you received a medal of honor;
    then lean forward with nothing to say at all.
    Did you ever consider
    the rose-colored glasses she wore.

    She knows that you have never pretended
    to be anything other than what you are
    still she finds you taste like the purest water.
    If you listen carefully,
    you can hear her calling out
    for another drink of you.

    In the meantime, you leaned forward
    to stroke her hair
    without ever turning on the light.
    While the world wished,
    it could too.
