it was never love
but a curious kind of lust
a guess and the straight arrow
of an embrace
spurned thereafter
i became the asphalt between us
a fossil river Lethe
rarely crossed

i carried as a sure thing
was that there’d never be
someone else
now i watch you build
a love nest, i see the other
i never thought there’d be
casually enter
a betrayal known only
in my shrinking universe
a breaking mirror
emitting a cold only i feel
but a curious kind of lust
a guess and the straight arrow
of an embrace
