He told me that his love was in numbers

and trophies

and dress shoes.

But now he says

"I love you"

and I wonder if I've become

just another number

another trophy

another heart beneath his dress shoe,

bleeding until all that's left

is his voice talking on the phone

or his handwriting on the checks

or his scent on the sheets.

And now, as I admire the quality of his dress shoe soles,

I wonder if he was ever there

at all.
