Doublespeak

doubles the crime

of a doubled life

just like the last time

I held you

 

I have you

but I don’t

I love you

but I don’t

I search for what I’m missing

in between our intense kissing

 

Stimulating conversations

beautiful words that lift me up

impassioned exchanges

stories with deeper meaning

culture, music, political issues

let’s exchange what we hold dear

 

Not just the passion between

our two bodies

Not just the dreams of what

we aim to be

Not just what we held

in our history

 

I have you

but I don’t

I love you 

but I don’t

I search for what I’m missing

In between our intensity
