Your smell on my pillow stays
Long after you leave
With endless ease my body lays
Suspending disbelief
And when you sleep beside me
How I love the way you breathe
You make a home inside me
Your own fortress of reprieve
Our bodies scribble stories
Write themselves between the sheets
Of love pillaged in victory
Hearts shattered in defeat
Someday I’ll see your aftertaste as insincerity
For now I give your heartbeat mine to keep it company
