She woke up in the night
She knew he was standing out there
Looking out the window
Glimpsed his shadow turn and fade away
In awe of her physical virginity
Entranced by the prospect of her innocence
Overanxiously swinging in no man’s land
Screaming inside for acceptance
Lying in bed staring at the ceiling
She won’t come out he won’t come in
Identical opposites with identical fantasies
Scared of the fleeting unknown
Clutching decisions from a fast moving fantasy
Dreams that refuse to be wedded to reality
Mating calls of the primitive growl deep
Inside the caverns of the human memory
By MTW
