You

You sat
Naked against the wall
Eyes downcast
Arms around your drawn-up knees
Head into your chest.

I notched my belt
Smoothing my shirt
Into my pants.

Perplexed
I asked
Wasn’t it good for you?

Come lay with me
You said
Don’t just leave
You whispered.

Is it enough for you
You asked
To take what I freely give
Then refuse
What I most need?

Heat flowed into my face.
I took off my shirt.
You smiled softly
As I lay with you again.

Then we made love
It having nothing to do
With our bodies.
