She Remembers~ By Nassima Ouaaz

She used to know how his eyes looked
but now all she knows is how a frown feels
on
naked breasts
because she is no longer his

He unravels his truth
bared in his grin
of a man
living in sin
of demise and cold shoulders

For no apparent reason
does he
let go
of something so pure
and gentle to his touch

But the man of sin
wouldn't let her in
for he was afraid
of losing his beguiling security

And then he lost her
slowly giving in
to more sin

The sin was all him
consumed in it
left alone in a bare grin

And when she looks back
she remembers
how his eyes looked like
trapped in a frown
with no bare breasts
for comfort to be found
