Fading in the Distance

If he believed in something, 

it was in the pain of her goodbye.

He knew no greater truth

then the sound of her footfalls

fading in the distance.

As time made all else disappear,

he stood right there, at that corner.

Grasping for the sight of a set of eyes

that could never see him for the man he was.

SEX AND RAIN

This will not end well,
His heart said the first time he saw her.
He could not turn away
From the beauty of her face.
Forget her vibrant taste.
And all for what?
A night, a few hours
A fleeting moment of her pleasure.
He landed in a fiery hell.
Of lust and pain,
Of sex and rain.
Of being left behind
Again and again
By a woman who could not love,
Could not hold, could not be.
Could not be whom he wanted her to be.
