The Boys you will Meet in Hell

The Boys you will Meet in Hell

A Poem by Amber V. Black

I.
Now when I see you I can almost feel your hipbones.
My hands almost touching,
because yes
you were really that skinny. 
You were an 
ivory fragility
that I have always desired. 
And though bone structure is genetic-
the people who you chose to f**k 
are not.
And maybe that is 
why 
I have always chosen boys that were
far smaller than me.
Yes, you were all ice. 
From the cold blue eyes
that held much passion 
(if not anger) 
to your skin, porcelain and fragile
as a china plate
that has never been taken out. 
Maybe because you were too cold.
Maybe because the girl you always 
chose
was not a fancy enough occasion.
II.
But you were so sure
of every move you made, 
you moved so swift and stern;
you were a natural born leader. 
I laid on your collarbones
one night 
and stroked your arm, hard with muscle, 
as you talked about your family
and how you never wanted to be your dad. 
What you fail to realize
is that you are more kin than kind. 
And sleeping with me 
while you love someone else
is the highest similarity you could ever share. 
(I almost called you Jason)
But kissing you was slow,
thoughtful even.
Kissing you wasn't hard or fast. 
I didn't have to wipe spit from my mouth
or push you off of me.
But kissing you did not make my fly.
I was much too afraid to open my eyes. 
I always wondered if you replaced my face
with hers. 
If you hoped to find blue eyes 
instead of brown.
If you always touched my a*s,
because you hoped that it would be bigger
like her's.
I wondered if you never used tongue 
because I wouldn't know how to 
dance with it like she did. 
If you never spoke
when we had sex
because you might have called me 
her name. 
I know you were just horny. 
But you are the most beautiful thing 
that has ever touched me, 
and I never thought you to be someone else.
