She Should Know

Her fingers trailed over
the scar on my chest
she rested her head there
and listened to my heart
thud against her ear,
and she kissed the rib
where it beat the strongest
and she purred
"Do I do that to you?"
The scent of her hair
and her skin like citrus
and spice and sunshine
is my new definition of what
home is
and everytime I remember
the hot, silken, vice of her body
it is all I can do
not to beat down the obstacles
that keep me from feeling her again.
She thinks I am heartless
when what I am is heartsick
and she mistakes my coldness
for a lack of fire,
when she of all people
should know better.
