go to sleep with make-up on

with my lovers hand a cold draft.

with the television my only one 

the one and only.

voices 

neighbors drunk footsteps. baileys. 

tripping the cat. up and down for a party.

still smell a boy on this pillow. 

too young for me.  too clean for me.

who turns down my advances.  my only one.

my one and only.

if you were here i would 

beg for your kiss. you have the one and only

the only kiss i would beg for. 

my only one.
