house of cards

the things a person will do
for sex
for love
for the simple touches
that make you heady with the fever of life

someday
i’m pretty sure
i’ll be sucking
some stranger’s cock
at the direction of the man i love

it’s going to be what he wants
and it’ll be fine at first

but one day

it will topple us and all we have built
like a cheap house of cards
