In the underbelly of me the back of my throat held your name and never let it go. I had my heart set on drinking you. All fortitude, all lapping, all deep thirst. I spend my mornings wondering how to coax you to my doorstep but when the night comes you're not beside me. I am telling myself it is fine, I have other things to fill that great empty - but the other things are not you, and I am left wanting. I keep thinking about how you would feel in my hands, and the curves of you, and how you would taste. I say it is enough and I am full and happy. But we both know. Without you something is incomplete. A lacking. A wanting. Somewhere you are poured out in some other girl's mouth.
And here I am, left without.
