The plethora of conniving women and distrustful men
Made the proposition of acquiring true love an unfathomable notion
At the hands of infidelity we’ve sustained emotional wounds
Adulterous companions were afforded every opportunity to
Renounce their philandering ways
Still we tried forcing square pegs into rounded holes
Until we completely exasperated our souls
She was a good girl who just grew weary of
Constantly being misled by a bad boy’s love
And my weakening frame
Began to deteriorate under the strain
Of manipulative minds games
I no longer had the desire to play
Candidly we discussed the differences between needs, desires and wants
For the first time in our lives we were going to
Put ourselves above all others
Forgoing the monotony
Of feigning monogamy
She and I brokered an alliance based upon sexual reciprocity
We established a relationship of self indulgence
That would be devoid of any emotional attachment
Yet it becomes so easy to grow accustom to
Merely being in her presence during those late night rendezvous’
Beyond the parameters of carnal desire I began to grow more comfortable
Engaging in patterns of behavior that were detrimental to
My spiritual, emotional and mental well being
I found myself falling for her
With each new encounter my feelings grew more intense
I found myself falling deeper and deeper into her abyss
My body craved her feminine touches,
My soul’s desire was to keep her…always
Yet, I cannot forcibly contain that which is determined to remain free
Only if she knew exactly how I felt
I wonder too, does she feel the same as I do?
We could convert the unfathomable notion of love
Into it’s most promising proposition
Yet I must confront a reality I share an equal hand in creating
This is just supposed to be about sex
Nothing more…nothing less
Until one night while in the throes of passion
She inexplicably moaned “baby, I love you too”
From that moment, everything we’ve shared has meant so much more
