"Should" Isn't Good Enough
May 9, 2013
I should be there with you.
You know it.
I should be by your side,
Our fingers intertwined.
A perfect little knot,
One that somehow came undone.
I should be safe,
Wrapped in your warm embrace,
Bundled in your caring arms,
You holding me close to your heart.
I should feel it beating,
Beating for me.
You should be kissing me,
A feather touch of the lips,
Upon my mouth, my cheek, my neck,
Telling me you love me,
Making me feel innocent.
But no.
No.
I made one mistake,
Took one step too far,
And I fell.
You jumped to save me,
But it was too late,
And we both got hurt.
