You Would


You would let my hair fall
till it covered us both
slide your fingers through the strands
and ask me if I ever touched
spider silk.
~
You would
say my name with softness
that put a lie to the rest of you
and nestle close against me
till the world slipped away.
~
You would
swear that you could love me,
and never take more
than I wished to give---
without a word
about the things I WANTED to give.
~
You would
walk away, held high
a picture of dignity
as you walked to something
you could truly touch
and swore I would always be
someone you needed.
~~~
You would
never lie, not with intention---
but darling man----face it.
Were I so important
you would not walking away.
Would you?
