Silence is comforting, darkness is soothing, the air whispers to us. It says that we are enough, we are not damaged or broken, we are whole. The gossip is cheap but it doesn’t matter as long as we know the truth. And the truth is all there is. We never lie or play games with each other. We do not set out to hurt one another. We would never damage what is perfect with ugliness. Before there was us there was nothing. As separate beings we mean nothing but together we are everything.

When he loves me I feel it in every cell of my body. As his body enters mine, and our molecules exchange, we become a completely new entity. I feel alive when I am under him. The weight of his body on mine grounds me and brings me peace. When we climax together our bodies hum, we vibrate and for those few minutes we are invincible.

Who was better? Why does he always ask that when I return from a date. Who was better? I hate to tell him that I don’t even think about him when I’m getting fucked by a hookup and once I am home I forget all about the hookup. So I can’t honestly answer his question but I do always say, “You are baby, you are”

I want to comfort him but I don’t know how
I don’t know what he needs and he won’t tell me
So I wait to see how much worse it gets
When his back is flat against the wall
When he’s hit rock bottom
Maybe he’ll tell me then
Finally he comes to me seeking my comfort
He asks why I wasn’t there for him
He forgets the days I spent holding his hand
Hoping he would open up and tell me what he needed
And he cries and says I should have known
I remind him that reading minds is not one of my skills
