When you saw me
and wanted me
and hunted me
did it ever cross your mind
that i was not only the body
but that i too am the owner
of such a thing called "soul"?
Did it ever occur to you
that not only my physical shell
longed to be touched, taken
but that my love too
stretched and begged
for a companion?
That "to be touched deep within"
was not at all a sweet and innocent phrase
i was using to talk about sex
and raw nights in your bed?
That when my fingers grapped your neck
when my nails tore at your heated flesh
i did not only want to pull your lips closer
but also your inner being?
Was it your fault or mine
that you mistook the quietly
wispered words in the morning
for praisings of your manhood
instead of understanding
them to be heartfelt prayers
for even a single sign of true love?
Is it not at all obvious
that i can not be yours
if it means to kill the woman i am
to be the body you need?
