Why do you drink?
I drink to remember the look in your eyes
the way your smile gets broader when you?
think of somehting devious
the sweat beading slowly down your neck and your taste
the way you walk towards me purposely ready to use me?
the hardness in your tone when your displeased?
the implied underlying of your words
?
I drink to remember?
the smell of the leather horse i'd be tied to
the way the restraints cut into my wrists and ankles?
the sound of the flogger the belt the whip as it strikes?
the many times i was left blindfolded and gagged for you
the feel of your rough hands at my throat or pulling my hair
your tone laced with anger excitement lust and discipline
the beautiful assortment of colors on my skin that i'd relish days later
?
I drink to remember
You
the antcipation of seeing after a week or more
the rush when you kiss me and grab the back of my neck
holding me closer tighter
the way you'd say my name?
the way my body would come alive with your hardened gaze
the feeling of being cared for?
the emotional conection?
just You
?
I drink to forget?
the way you left me?
the loneliness of each day
the hottest sun and the coldest night
the silence
?
I drink to remember but to forget
