Love Poem: Untitled

Here I lie, in my sultry haven; skin rough, face unshaven; 
The weight of her light sleep bearing down so heavily on my arm.
And her chest, her breasts lightly heave; her eyelids flicker and thoughts weave; 
As she lays there entranced so deeply laden in my moody charm.
Though I don't deserve the love she gives; my glass heart, broken; passive; 
And another name rings in my shallow mind like a car alarm.

Here I lie, in my sultry haven; skin rough, face unshaven; 
The weight of my heavy sorrows bearing so lightly on my face. 
Her heart beats with a vigor; erratic; mine, slow; almost static. 
My lips taste of her cherries,  of sex, and shame hanging in the place.
Though... here I lay still, broken; encumbered with words unspoken; 
Terrified of living life lonely but never truly alone. 

Here I lie, in my sultry haven; skin rough, face unshaven; 
Here I lie in my solemn tomb; under-excited; bleak; gloom.
