DUTY

Posted Apr 30, 2024 · 11 lines · 2 critiques

Having sex I didn’t want
With someone I no longer love
I turn my face away
So he won’t see the tear drops
Trying to escape my eyes.

I make the moves and sounds he needs
To think we’re still a couple
But in the hollow of my heart
I know that he’s a little boy
And I can’t be his mother.

"Is certainly precious and goes quickly if we look away for just a second. Sounds like the Clock Eater enjoys living in the moment and savoring every second. Great write!"
