Denial

Feigning numbness,

I let you lean against

My heaving chest,

Not minding

My heartbeat racing,

Ever calling,

Your disyllabic name.

Feigning coldness,

I let you gently pull me,

Close to your dear heart,

Feigning deafness,

I do not hear,

Your sweet heartbeat calling mine.

Ubiquitous,

My heart to yours,

With nothing less than love,

For you to keep,

Or break apart.

To give away,

Or to make a start.

Feigning boredom,

I yawn so loud,

You  caught my mouth,

You felon, that kiss

You stole,

Was it not enough,

That you stole my heart?

Feigning anger,

I look away. . .

Those three words,

I could not say.
