but baby

But Baby

“but baby, I love you”

he said suddenly shouting at the dial tone

heated and raging

he storms out

raining his hurt on the air outside

she is distant

red faced and crying now

afraid because

she knows he is on his way

he batters her door

she knows she can’t hide

stop herself from answering

he is there

dangerous

pained

hurt

wounded

even his tears are complex

she wants to console him

cradle him

kiss his pain

and scream on his weakness

all at once

he is there;

demanding

begging

needing

wanting

at 4 am

on her steps

and she kisses him

now he feels safe and loved

they fuck desperately

on the kitchen floor

sick and in love
