Chapter 41 - What once was.

Why are we so good at pretending that nothing happened?

At creating idle talk as you steal away with the physical actions

 That you just scavenged. 

And we smoke our smokes so casually, acting brazenly like we don't care

About the friction that spawns from our addiction

As we spilled crazily out of

 Then slipped coyly right back into our underwear.

"My shirt is under where?"

"...I think It's under there..."

And in the darkness

 In our part bliss

I stole light kisses as you stroked my hair.

And when the light hit

 We exchanged wits and poor jokes

And we took our time to cover up what just then was so bare.

And the air in the room 

 Tainted so lightly 

Slightly with the sweet aroma 

 Of wild sex and perfume.

And I've said your name so many times 

in that block of time

That I no longer understand what it's linked to...

And I love the pain of the scratches

 That you left on my back and the bite marks

A claim to territory left in the dark.

That always catches my attention.

Dare I mention

 How the sounds you make drive me crazy?

We laugh and squint 

 Our eyes against

The cigarette smoke that made the room so hazy.

How can this be wrong when it feels so amazing?

Maybe that's why we can pretend that nothing just happened.

Passionless sex is often one-sided

And always ends pretty tragic...
