I sit at my desk alone	A
as I did on many Sunday	B
afternoons when you came	C
back to me	D
your arms aching for me	D
though they smelled	E
of other women	F
and your sweet head bowed	G
for me to rub	H
and your heart bursting	I
with things to tell me	D
and your hair	J
and your eyes	K
wild	L
	-
We would embrace	M
on the carpet	N
and leave	O
the imprint of our bodies	P
on the floor	Q
My back is still sore	Q
where you pressed me	D
into the rug	R
a sweet soreness I would never	S
lose	T
	-
I think of you always	U
on Sunday afternoons	V
and I try to conjure you	W
with these words	X
as if you might	Y
come back to me	D
at twilight	Y
but you are never coming back	Z
never	S
	-
The truth is	A2
you no longer exist	B2
Oh you walk the world	C2
sturdily enough	D2
one foot in front	E2
of the other	S
But the lover you were	S
the tender shoot	F2
springing within me	D
trusting me with your dreams	G2
has hardened	H2
into fear and cynicism	I2
	-
Betrayal does that	J2
betrays the betrayer	S
	-
I want to hate you	W
and I cannot	K2
But I cannot	K2
love you either	S
	-
It is our old love	L2
I love	L2
as one loves	M2
certain images	N2
from childhood	O2
shards	P2
shining in	Q2
the street	R2
in the shit	S2
	-
Shards of light	Y
in the darkness	T2
