i was once a loyal lover

Settle

A line that doesn't begin with "look, if we're going to do this"
is enough for me to wrap my tongue around your tonsils
and breathe you in. You stand like Superman;
invincibility makes your muscles tremble
but like the dust which hugs these neglected walls
I have merely settled. Please don't feel inferior,
for once it's dawn and we have drained ourselves,
when you ask me how many other men I've held
I will give a number much lower to make you feel superior.
