A cheap thrill April 22, 2012

 

 

I should not have kissed her

 when she drove me

to the top of the hill that night,

although though that's all I wanted

from the moment we sat down at the bar

my gaze fixed on her lips

as she shipped her wine

or puffed her cigarette outside.

I should not have kissed her,

Maybe then, she might not have sought

Comfort in the arms of another man,

Leaving me to feel a cuckold love

“It was only a working out fuck,”

She tells me a day later,

leaving me to feel as if

she had tied me up and sat me in the corner

to watch that other man fuck her,

when I wanted to fuck her, too,

a cheap thrill, but whose,

when she can have any man

any time,

and certain doesn’t need me

to watch.
