Rhymes - 21. Second.
That’s the thing about second loves:
His smile could never be so bright
As to erase the fragments of crooked grins.
Blue eyes cradle your body gently
Summer rain quenching a drought.
But every inch of your sunlit skin
Has been branded by the fires of another.
And when he drapes himself over you,
Your rigid bones fight this skeletal prison,
Remembering the winter nights that hardened them
Against the passionate fires of novelty.
Even as you contort yourself to mould
Into a fitting piece of this new puzzle,
Your bed remembers the warmth of the one before,
And so you learn to sleep in threes with ghosts.
