she walked in and i could
feel you jump beside me
your history slid into the room.
hand unfolding from mine
you stood to embrace and i could
tell you still thought of her.
hands spread on your back
she leaned over your shoulder
and smiled at me like conquest.
fire jealous in my eyes
and when you sat down quiet
i made sure she knew
and sent a message with the cigarette
we shared over tangled hands
that you were no longer hers to conquer
but mine because you chose me.
