Three In The Morning

Paul Bell

It’s three in the morning

If I touch your breasts

Will you respond

Or scream

You scream

 

It’s three in the morning

I listen to you breathing

We breathe in unison

For a while we become one

Then I choke

 

It’s three in the morning

The smell of sex lingers

The point of no return

Do you care

I wonder

 

It’s three in the morning

Many affairs have passed

I lie thinking

Was there a time

Was there

 

It’s three in the morning

You’re two years gone now

Time still asks questions

Bitterness pollutes you

All of you

 

It’s three in the morning

I lie awake

The walk to the court

Ten seconds to end a lifetime

Divorced

 

It’s three in the morning

Death came calling

Did you cry my name

I lie here wondering

    Shucks. A sad ending. It was short-lived but may there be many more dalliances to come.

    • Paul Bell

      Definitely, onwards and upwards.

      Your waking at three in the morning truly sets the stage. Early morning seems to be a more vulnerable time, given what is going on in the brain and circulatory system, for people to suffer a heart attack. An attack of the heart can come in many forms. You have expressed that so poignantly.

      • Paul Bell

        Yes, early is never good.

        Emotive words Paul.

        For me three in the morning is the time I awake and the answer to a question comes to me that I have been tying to get answered all day.

          Everything comes at three in the morning.
