If You Can Keep It Alive Poem by Wes Thompson

If You Can Keep It Alive



midnight.
soft whispers;
I can't quite
make out what she's saying.
but she giggles.
from under the sheets,
trying to be quiet.
and I laugh at
myself,
to hide what I've lost.
what a charming
fucking
smile he has.
and I won't
tell her no.
