Casual Sex
by
Candi Timmerman
It would be good.
Almost heaven for you to be inside of me.
But the guilt.
Oh the guilt.
I’ve had it before, and only the sad sense of being lost afterward.
You would leave me like all of the others.
They left.
They didn’t really love me,
And neither do you.
You love being in love,
I am not in love with you either.
I won’t be in love with you.
It hurts too much.
I can’t give you everything,
Because I don’t have anything for myself.
You’ll have to settle for nothing.
But it would feel good,
I’d feel beautiful,
But the feeling would be fleeting,
And I’d be ugly once more
(Funny how a girl depends on others to judge her worth).
