October 23

two hearts beat
like a metronome beneath
the wrinkled pillow sheets
lost in dreams
of lies and deciet
anxiety, defeat
pleading she leaves
if she needs to cheat
lest our loves so deep
she's plagued like a disease
her integrity streams
like snot down her cheek
a cough and sneeze
all she can do to keep
the condom under the sink
from leaking past her teeth
the numbers deleted
praying I'm not seeing
new stains on the seats
blaming my anxiety
the slues are unseen
pepetrators identity
I wake from the dream
a terrible nighmare
