when you look into your mirror,
will you see your naked form:
your sun-freckled shoulders,
your soft breasts, small stomach
and strong legs;
or will you instead see my seized possessions:
the hair that rested upon my thigh,
the lips that quaked at the touch of my skin,
the hips that my fingertips traced
on the way to the meeting of your legs,
a prelude to writhing ecstasy?

when your body becomes a monument
to the agony of loss,
will you regret the breath
you wasted on "goodbye"?

Thanks! Yeah, I'm not really happy with the last two lines. Appropriate for journal poetry, perhaps, but not very "good" writing. I can't quite figure out what to do with it.

Any suggestions?
