I know a story about a girl who has
been told a lot of things
but the feeling
of being wanted, desired, lusted after
is better than anything else.

There is a place
online, of course
where married people go
to find what they are missing.

Sitting within that lonely
space of missing pieces
missing selves
is eating her alive.

So, she signed up
and looked around
and stayed quiet.
Somehow it was comforting to just be around
the people that are missing
like her.

Men contacted her but she
remained silent.
Some stayed around and some
stopped trying and she
didn't respond.

She responded to one on a
whim and he was polite
and nice.
He was younger and fit. He
wanted her.

She was polite in return and
didn't discourage him but is too
scared
to know what to do.
