Degradation
You were a poison
Passing through my body
As easily as salt,
Dissolving
Into a pot of water
Corrupting every drop
From
Refreshing, cool, innocence
Into a dead sea
Afterward
Standing alone in the doorway
I watched him sleeping in our bed
Calm and peaceful
Breathing steady - up and down -
- up and down -
Despite the fight
- up and down -
and my tears
- up and down -
and the sex
- up and down-
Standing alone in the doorway
I watched him sleeping in his bed
