I Can Tell

You kissed another
Lips chapped, sun kissed skin
Stomach torn off my sleeve
Pressed my tailbone and shoulder blades into the sheets
Forget our satin memories

Palms of another graced your body
It got to me, choked me
Weak minded and trusting
Her lips sank deep into my thoughts
Turned in my mind, smooth as an ocean stone

Thank you for the gentle drowning
Too much salt, sweet words
I will rise to the sun refreshed
My hands and heart no longer in tight fists
I can tell, you didn’t mean it
