3WW: Do Me No Favor

3ww12 Today’s prompts at Three Word Wednesday are
Arresting
Rhythmic
Wicked

    do me no favor

what once felt enjoyably wicked
felt perfunctory this time, like
something for you to get through

no words of lust passed your lips
neither moans nor sighs
nor any indication of pleasure

the rhythmic pounding of the headboard
against the wall and my fading heartbeat
the only sounds in the room

the arresting look that used to be
in your eyes was absent as
you stared at the wall blankly

these words are as flat
and boring as I felt
underneath you

  1. Really strong piece here. Really feel the heartache and the angst.

  2. Phew, but you know what they say, it takes two to tango!

  3. And it does sometimes come to exactly that. Well written.

  4. Thanks, Thom & Tumble. I always smile when y’all like my work, being such talented writers yourselves.

    Andy, it does indeed take 2 to Tango! Thank you for stopping by.

  5. may i say you made a wonder out of this :D

    My 3WW

  6. Quite nicely done. Mechanical can’t be any fun…

  7. Okay, I’m depressed now. That was … sad in a way that “sad” doesn’t quite cover it. Impressive.

  8. Loved it, loved it, loved it. When lust leaves the room it all becomes so predictable and boring

  9. Thanks, y’all and thanks for stopping by.

    Don’t be sad, Mendur. I daresay she is pissed. ;)

    Bingo, Jack!

  10. There has to be love instead of lust!

    stolen from the air

    Please don’t forget to post your creative works at Monday Poetry Train Revisited too!

  11. What of those who are asexual?

    Good work, as always.

  12. Great word choices. Brought the act down to just the physical motions, taking out all of the lustful fun. Harsh and good!

    • Thanks, Vic. Fortunately, it doesn’t happen like that too often.

      • I should hope so. Party on! ;)
