Honestly, honesty
evades its meaning
in the shadows
of frailty.
Chastity manipulates
making sense
with fingerprints
from her hips,
trailing his lips.
A stolen kiss
with no means to repay.
An accidental collision
tightened its grip
when goodbye sweeps
through her heart,
leaving him in a prison
to dwell on insecurity.
Even from here,
he can hear the tears in her
voice through chills on his spine.
Another kiss, just one more.
