Rest Where You Lay

I been here a million times before,

the numbness as I walk out the door.

My heart heavy like a drum,

thinking about the nights I kept you warm.

Nothing like being intertwined in your warmth.

Skin on skin, watching the sun,

I become undone,

as the sun rises from the perspective of your eyes,

knowing inside it’s all a damx lie.

You crave me,”

how lazy,

can my emotions be?

Lying in the sheets,

wrapped in your deceit,

how does this comfort me,

how do I feel pain and relief?

How can you look at me,

like I’m the enemy?

Push me away, when I always made sure you were okay.

Never mistake lust for love, you’ll never rest where you lay.

*Jay Smoove- the Poet*
