For A Moment

The water pulsates over my body

As I stare at the white wall

My heart sleeping soundly in my chest

I snap out of my enchantment 

And continue gliding my hands over my body

To wash away my words for the day

My left hand wanders behind me

And there

I wash twice

For his words sometimes linger

I dip my head under the glistening stream

I let the heat race from my nose

Down to my navel

And then I think of you

The moments you stole from me

Right before

The moments I willingly gave to you

Remembering your head on my chest

Your breath on my nipples

Not in love

But neither without it

The echo of your lips

Still tingles the back of my neck

Suddenly your gone

I open my eyes

Still facing the white wall

The words circling the drain

And life pauses

Only for a moment

Until the sun rises again
