My eyelids flutter open to find his eyes gazing intensly into mine. Eye's so black, all irises.
My body is trapped beneath a man I do not know yet I know his rythem so well, why he chose this moment to take more than I offer I do not know, but I was mesmerized. Mesmerized by what I do not want to see. I saw a tenderness I convinced myself men incapable of, seen the man he cannot find within himself anymore a man he cannot give.
I went further and betrayed myself by not averting my eyes to this invasion. My eyes spoke out to him images of the woman I do not dare fathom in the colors of my bieng.
Gently with my hand on his chest I ease him away to turn my body around,I give my back to him to embrace me from behind praying for obliviosness, that he has seen nothing.
