She hid herself in his arms,
In the warmth and black of his chest.
And he held her like holding a dream,
Something beyond him.
Checkout time was noon,
Her husband expected her soon.
But for a moment she was his and him hers.
They knew everything ahead
would be less than what they held then.
He didn't see her cry.
She didn't see him die.
She did her make up
As he played with the key.
He dropped it as her phone rang.
I love you and I'll be there soon,
He heard as he left the room.
Walking out on her,
On the devil in his bed.
