Fat Cheeks

Contributed by LetusgothenyouandI on Wednesday, 24th July 2013 @ 05:46:53 PM in AEST
Topic: LovePoetry



It isn’t my skin
or your skin
on my skin
or our bodies separated only by my
t
h
i
n
Underwear
It’s not my lustful stare
or the clothes which somehow, between our
half-hearted attempts to watch Sherlock
and that sudden interrupting door knock,
happened to of un-happened
and are no longer there.

It’s not my lip bite
or half closed blinds turning early afternoon into night

It’s not the kissed lips left slightly swollen
that are gradually winning this heart you jovially claim to of stolen

It’s not my laboured breath in your ear
or my nervously eager limbs which you so artfully steer
into bliss.

It’s not your perfect kiss

NO

It isn’t my skin
or your skin

It’s the fact that whilst reading you the great Gatsby I too was
within

and without
simultaneously enchanted and repelled
as the feigned detachment I thought i’d upheld
became as penetrable as that air

It’s not my lustful stare
it was that look in your eyes when you forced me to emerge from my self pity,
and I wracked my brains for anything remotely distracting and witty
and instead came out with the vulnerable truth
and nipped times bud and bloomed like youth
and said I loved you after 3 weeks
You’ve made me love my fat cheeks

so, It’s not my lip bite, it was that time you hugged me a little too tight
that made me say to hell with patience and to hell with my vulnerability
I enjoy the dull ache of disregarded sensibility
like aching ribs after too much laughter
It’s not the kissed lips, it’s the morning after when I woke wearing my tiredness like worn in shoes
instead of ill-fitting heels
It’s not my laboured breath, it’s your worry when I skip meals,
that made those 3 words elude a dishonest retraction,
And you once dared to ask if it was pure attraction?
