complacency
I visit that space from time to time
the space that held you near
and captivated your dormant sense of affection
with a complacent smile
and a gentle caress
along the vicissitudes of your fragile being
but now sits
suspended
in absence and darkness
drowned in distance
edged deep inside the heart
like thorns upon a throne
the dull sense of longing
the sudden thrust of deception
suffocated
by the
warm hands of a lover
the ease of a complacent smile
