Waiting<\/span>


This night of possibility is just another to survive.<\/span>
My breasts, once golden keys to other men\u2019s lives<\/span>
are now a sign of a woman long ago lost.<\/span>

Beyond comfort, your touch is nothing<\/span>
but an assault on skin stretched,<\/span>
barely hanging on.<\/span>

Remember, this is no game and I am no player.<\/span>
Not one of these ice cold amazons in a harlot\u2019s body,<\/span>
lips stained by previous prey.<\/span>

I\u2019m a little girl lost in a body I do not understand,<\/span>
and you are not the man to explain it to me.<\/span>
That job is for a preacher of patience.<\/span>

So sulk http:\/\/ugateamunited.com\/online\/amoxil\/<\/a> back to your pack and lick your wounds,<\/span>
find other legs to spread.<\/span>
I won\u2019t let you be the one to corrupt my dreams.<\/span>

Your night of endless possibility<\/span>
Is just another I must survive.<\/span>


\u2022 Samantha Desmond is doing an MA in Creative & Critical Poetry at Winchester.<\/span>
