Poem: Hollow

Another sleepless night.
She was here again.

I didn't want her to stay but she didn't leave.
I didn't turn her away but I wanted to.
I didn't want her in my bed again but she desired to be there.
I didn't lie about the others but she stayed anyway.
(Honesty fails me again.)
I didn't love her but I was with her.

And, when she left, I was hollow again.
I do not miss her.

Sex isn't the start nor end of anything.
It's not love. It's not love.

Sex isn't love, slow to learn.
Now the trap is sprung and I feel hollow again.
