I always begged her to see that I love her,
but somehow I forgot to show her.
I did not notice, even
when she packed her bags and went to her
mother’s; she did not leave me, but I left her.
She always begged me, provoked me to take her
somewhere, anywhere, or to hold her
hand like I once used to, though
even then I did not cherish her,
even after spending that one night with her.
It always begged me to stop hiding from her –
to look into her eyes, not at her
dancing thighs; oh, but those I
loved. It wanted to open up to her –
to say ‘I love you’, instead of ‘I love her.’
She always begged me to whisper love to her,
but instead I penetrated her
thinking I was showing love
by invading between those thighs; her
eyes did not move, just stared up as I claimed her.
I always begged her for a second chance, her
trust that I haven’t stopped loving her,
that there really is a “you”
in “us”. Oh, but I had love for her,
just hidden between the lines, away from her...

'her eyes did not move, just stared up as I claimed her.' - this line sent chills down my spine!

Thanks for your comments girls.
Sorry Magic, but I didn't get you email. Plus I just want to let you know that as a Jehovah's Witness I don't celebrate Christmas or the New Year, but thanks for remembering me and I hope you're enjoying your break off school ;-)
Love, Nathan.

Great again Nathan, you have a fantastic skill; you manage to capture feelings and atmosphere rather than just write, or play with words. For me your work is like a good novel: you want to get to end but you don't want it to finish. Super!
