Four Letter Word

Unforgettable breathes we couldn’t control

Curved lips loosen upward to the thoughts of

Nude nobodies but of mystery somebodies

Sweat drips off our face we both made

Breathing in temporary touches we knew

Will never last in the land of “real love”

Every day we wonder who we will “love”

Next instead we guard our torn hearts

Making the same mess while depressed

Dare to play pretend with this new one?

Love is a lustful game we mistakably make

Authenticity-respectability as strangers
