Without Any Further Ado

by Robert Gryfft


Splinters of light: it was morning. I could feel her warm weight behind me.

Emotions trickled through my reluctantly conscious mind- Guilt. Longing. Regret.

Bitterness.

Betrayal.

I wished I could remember those hours, when I was someone else.

I wished she could love me the way she loved the stranger who had worn my skin.
