Way out
There’s a way out
but no one wants
to take that door,
it remains open
for a while
you shut it with memories
reopen it after day drunk sex
afternoon delights came early that year
and same sex marriages finally exist.
There’s a way out
but he wants to perform on stage
hold the microphone like it’s me
sing to the women
about my heart
how it aches at worldly matters
that most girls barely glance at,
he whispered “there’s the exit”
and we took that door
it was raining hard on St. Paul street
and he grabbed my arm
led me to this new club
we smoked everything back then
we kissed in dark shady corners
smelling like booze and smokes
red lipstick on his mouth
duMaurier packs in my bra
ripped stockings from his fingers
bathroom make up sex
we had rustic love
raw appeal.
There’s a way out
of everything
you tell me,
and I feel like
you are as far
as the moon
and as close
as it feels
when I look upon it.

Stabbed through the heart..but I love it. Wonderful, Poetess!! ♡
Hey Eric! thank you a million and a billion xxx
❤
I love love love everything about this!
That her heart aches over worldly matters other girls barely glance at and the contrasts between him and her. And the desire to run (exit). Terrific!!
Yes, the heart aches always over such tragedies…thank you my gorgeous friend x hugs 0
Chrissy, you’ve given us such great visuals, but it goes deeper than that. These characters feel real to me and not some cardboard pinup. She’s truly saddened by the tragedies of the world and yet she cares enough about her partner to want to make it work, even if it is through makeup sex. Brilliant!
all these characters in my head need to escape! thank you for reading, thank you for commenting, thank you Dustin x have a blessed day.peace
Chrissy x

Loved everything about this piece. But you smacked it out of the park with this:
“you are as far
as the moon
and as close
as it feels
when I look upon it”
Freakin’ awesome. Can’t say enough about these words. .
thank you Andrew, it is a full moon so it has its effects on me. lol 🙂
Then, we need more full moons. lol
