I. Intentions

Its hard to describe how he feels

towards her sometimes&

To her, it seems like he is an actor

constantly changing his personality

like a mask;

passionately in love with her one day

then the next cold like winter snow.

She felt lost looking in his eyes

which were unfathomable and mysterious

what she once found greatly attractive

now push her away with a cold gaze&

For him it was equally difficult

Holding himself together,

composing himself to be one.

He would lay awake for hours

His mind drifting off lazily into space

while his wife laid beside him

her back turned away and her

crop of beautiful dark brown hair

cascading over the pillow in a wave.

She is fragile, delicate, and vulnerable

wearing a thin slip,

her thin pale skin pulsating underneath.

Her face was relaxed for once and her eyes

werent tiny slit that tried to peer into his mind

and purge him of his secrets.

Alfred leaned closer smelling her scent which

was sweet and simple yet enraptured him

with each heavenly breathe.

Alfred kissed her arm trailing his nose on her

Fair skin taking in each new scent

which wove into one another

like fibers in cloth in a blissful harmony

that composed of her essence.

Sometimes, she claimed,

that she could tell by looking at him

whether he meant it or not

when he told her he loved her.

I love you, Sarah.

He whispered in her ear,

his words hanging in the air like a

delicate string of spiders web.

She moaned slightly in her sleep and shifted

the position of her head.

I love you.

He repeated, then kissed her on cheek

And this time he sincerely meant it.
