Sea of Electrons, An Air

An air of pretty, was she

Dressed up, done up

Maybe in her pajamas

Her beauty wasn’t for me

Neither was her love

I was so dumb

Can’t breathe



An air of music, did she sing?

Her siren’s song

A love gone wrong

What she said to me

Be gone

It wasn’t so long

Can’t breathe



An air of feeling, where her fingers led

How I dreamed up her thighs

A keyboard saying, I wasn’t her guy

As if I was a monster like Fred

Why didn’t I die?

Did she lie?

Can’t breathe



An air of color, did her skin betray?

A blush of red

What we had said

Year and a half and then today

Not a shade led

Back to bed

Can’t breathe



An air of breath, how did she find, that final line?

Was it a sob?

Just told me to stop

And I said fine

A whole lot

What she wanted I was not

Can’t breathe



For there was not an air

Of love

Or lust

Just air

Not a must

And too much

Can’t breathe



In this sea of electrons
