The Things We Do Not Say

Will you dance across me?
My chest, my belly
put your foot there to dance.
Will you always love me?
My hands do shake
waiting for yes.
I don’t ask, mostly because I know.
That not always
will come sooner than too.
I’ve seen your eyes on Mondays
and I’ve known you
disappointed at Saturday.
I would ask,
but the fear of your no
oh.
