There was a moment
After sex
When she was laying in my arms
While my dog
Licked her face
She turned around
And looked at me
Right into my eyes
And I
I looked back into her eyes
But just for
A second or two
Before I
Could no longer
Hold her gaze with mine
I felt the fear
Of being naked
Truly
Naked
And vulnerable
And I consciously chose
To
Look away . . .
This is
The cowards way
Nothing has changed
Nothing has changed . . .
After all of this time
And I am still
The same.
-C.H.
