You didn't think I'd notice did you? How cautiously you walked in the door, how you silently unpacked the groceries' and all the while my smile shimmers like a dragonfly, I'm swallowing laugher, as I watch you cram the turnip into the damp squalor of our pantry, push the icecream you know I crave into the freezer, I catch sight of the label, and silently I exclaim my excitement. Inside I am a child who caught giant handfuls of candy in the Christmas parade, inside I want to tug to to me, hold you tight and rid myself of the feelings of last night, forever. I'm a confused child, mixed emotions sway from guilt to glee and back again. I smile and kiss you through a mouthful of shame I want to ameliorate myself for you |
