"Underneath"
dear _________,
I'm usually not a jealous bitch
but this melacholy is undermining
my carefully crafted facade
of nuanced indifference
Andy came over last night
it was late
and I wasn't in the mood
for idle small talk
or meaningless unattached company
but as soon as I opened the door,
Andy smiled with those pale eyes
subtle pools of green that seem to shimmer
in the subdued light
something inside me
felt the compulsion to grab her
lead her to my bedroom and lock the door
as you know already
I'm not as prudish as I let on
so when I awoke the next morning
and went to the bathroom,
I let the towel drop
and left the door cracked
ever so slightly ajar
just in case Andy woke up
and saw me glistening with
anticipation
Andy just stared back
and, with a hint of a smile,
she whispered in desperation
reached for her favorite companion
and surrendered for one final go.
