Accidental Babies

I held you like a lover
happy hands
elbow in the appropriate place
and we ignored our other's happy plans
for that delicate look upon your face.
our bodies moved and hardened
hurting parts of your garden
with no room for a pardon
in a place where no one knows what we have done.

do you come
together ever with him?
is he dark enough,
enough to see your light?
do you brush your teeth before you kiss?
do you miss my smell?
is he bold enough to take you on?
do you feel like you belong?
does he drive you wild,
or just mildly free?
what about me?

you held me like a lover
sweaty hands
and my foot in the appropriate place
we used cushions to cover happy glands
and the mild issue of our disgrace
our minds pressed and guarded
while our flesh disregarded
the lack of space for the light hearted
in the boom that beats our drum

and I know I make you cry
i know sometimes you want to die
but do you really feel alive without me?
if so be free
if not leave him for me
before one of us as
accidental babies
for we are
in love
