touched by another

as I write,

another caresses your skin

another holds you

another has the feel of you

not me

Jealousy?

Did jealousy rear its ugly head

no

just a pull in my solar plexus

like you were trying to hurt me

were you?

probably

for the mean things I did to you

like be hurt you left me out

in the cold?

I never let another touch me

before your eyes

yet tonight you let someone do that

I know you don’t really mean…

…to hurt me…..


…..

if you do….

then maybe it’s okay

because I hurt you too.
