She’s a Lifetime Away
There’s a line, a lyric, a bit of prose
There’s a book, a poem, a story
There’s one true sentence
Hemingway talked about that sentence, we all do
She lives in that sentence, that line, that song
She laid on me with her entire body
Her feet on mine, legs on mine, stomachs, chests, lips
She had an ass that caused traffic to slow
A face that inspired one to write
A laugh that filled the dark rooms where we met
I knew I’d be the bad guy when it ended
Men prepare for that role
It ended when I needed to go
Hindsight is clear now
I think about her beauty, her long dark hair, her ass in my hands
All of her weight on me
We only had that moment and now
now she’s a lifetime away
