She Said MBM Trial

Incomprehensible, she said As she pulled me closer on the bed we laid How can someone like you, With all your words, be such a fool I buried my head in her chest Took a deep breath, still confused Why do you say this to me now, lover? She brushed me off with a smile And said, hey, but that’s what I like about you Honey scented candles burn As we both take our turns To whisper our deepest fears, Secrets, and memories sprinkled with tears That was love, a long ago In one of those nights, a long ago When everyday felt so short The sun, the puns, now ashes in urns Incompatible, she said As she blew out the smoke; exhale Don’t forget to breathe, she said As she blew into me, I inhaled With a dagger she impaled My heart, turning The hilt, pressing Ever so slowly, gently Effortlessly, and expertly Teaching me the pain I learned to love It’s the same song we’ve listened to One too many times, until we Realized we were now too Old for it, so we forfeit Our days, to cover the deficit Carried over from those days When we lived on the Borrowed time, knowing That things couldn’t last Forever. Inconsequential, she said Your excuses, I’ve heard them all Before, I know them all I can recite your defense In my dreams, and I’m sick of it, She said. An empty room, with only a chair Facing the wall and the Infinite amount of time Now in my hands I watch I watch the paint dry. And I used to think It would hurt a little.
