The Watering Hole


With my head in my hands, I thought of her---
and only her

I remembered how she smelled beautiful---
and that wasn't even possible,
was it?

But only for her

She smiled more than not---
which is a feat unrecognizable by most
but unparalleled in its consistency

She didn't hate anyone---
not because of them,
but because she didn't have it in her

But she had it all in her,
in her

And then it all came down on me,
in a torrential downpour---
and she proved immutable

and that there was no statute of limitations on pain

all I cared about---
in the whole entire wide world---
was not to be her disappointment
because she knew I wasn't---
