mind
not
withstanding
the emotion that lies in my bed
i cannot handle
lying beside you
and not being able
to reach you.
eyes
not
withstanding
the tears your beauty makes me cry
i cannot handle
watching you sleep
knowing you are dreaming
of her.
mouth
not
withstanding
the solitude your lips have inflicted
i cannot handle
hearing your breath pass over your lips
knowing they will not touch mine
before you return to her
i cannot handle
you
notwithstanding
me.
