That day you apologized

for ripping me a new one.

Saying, “You’re my man,”

your arms around me,

as I slouched on the couch.

Slowly life

seeps into my veins

as I shed my hurt

an anticipation of a

horizontal makeup

The heat of the moment

shone in your eyes

heavy breathing

the feel of skin on skin

all thoughts of

harsh words & hurt feelings

forgotten

The heat of the moment

telling me what my heart meant
