Description Soul Mate

Blue eyes:
Not so blue, not so familiar.
I cheated on you.
Yellow lights.

A hammering presence –
the pounding of words
driving ivory pins into my skull.
Acidic, biting;
                eating at my stomach.

A rush of vanilla candles:
Why vanilla?
                I don’t even like vanilla.
Limp arms,
the reformation of black plastic chairs.
I know he loves me.

And,
taken aback –
                 an unexpected response;
trembling epiphany running black down my cheeks.
And I realize how much
                                                 I truly love him.

Is this about your lover boy, Matt?

Dumb question?

"I cheated on you"
That line disturbs me. Is it literal?

Not at all, Jeffy It just refers to a scene I am working on for a drama festival right now. It is how the experience of doing the scene effected me that I wrote about.
