you, you

What do you do for them when they love another set of eyes
Stare at teeth with ache
Taste tongue in cheek
Of someone else
And you, you,
Can’t imagine them being looked at the way
You long for,
Having exchange of breathe
Closing eyes in the dark
With someone else
And you, you,
Try to keep your distance,
But you can’t stand it,
Not for one moment being any farther apart than
Skin scuffing,
Fingers locked,
Lips collide,
But you, you,
Don’t love me the way that I love you,
But neither do I,
And you, you,
And I, I,
We’ll both end up rolled out like shag carpet
On dining room floors
With someone else

JK
