ONLY ME

| 46 | YEMI | August - September 2020 |

Her eyes were wide open, staring penetratingly back at me. She was in shock at the realization of what I was about to do. I always wonder what they contemplate during this moment. Are they shocked at what is eminently about to happen? Or did they see it coming‌ perhaps in the darkness that lingers somewhere behind my eyes? I never see it coming either even though deep inside me, I know when I am ready for another. The thing inside me never gets satisfied‌ never gets its fill. It goes still but only for a time.
