Sad & Hung
He was a man navigating the raw edges of life, still nursing the sting of a recent breakup. The cheap hotel room he’d holed up in felt like a reflection of that space he was in bare, unpolished, holding only the essentials. A musician by night, he carried a kind of sexy sadness, a quiet intensity that only came from living fast and experiencing hard. That night, he needed to escape, to let go of the weight pressing down on him, and he found solace in the way he surrendered, eyes blindfolded, retreating into his senses as I worshipped him.
The quiet of the room was only broken by the faint hum of city sounds outside and the lingering notes of his rock band’s latest song playing in his mind. His face softened under the blindfold, a stark contrast to his usually guarded expressions. In those moments, he was free from the expectations, the bravado, the heartbreak. He gave himself over, allowing himself to feel appreciated, to be adored without question or judgment. His energy was both rugged and tender, the kind of masculinity that didn’t apologize for its roughness but was still capable of moments of vulnerability.
Being with him was like playing with fire, unpredictable but entrancing. His scars both visible and invisible were like lyrics of a song he didn’t need to sing for me to understand. There was a mutual respect in the silence, an understanding that neither of us was looking to fill each other’s voids but simply to exist together in that fleeting intimacy, a moment outside the noise and chaos of the world he came from.
As he lay there, basking in the warmth of the dim lights, he reminded me of a faded star, still burning with a quiet intensity. There was no need for words; his body language told me everything relaxed yet yearning, holding onto the temporary peace we’d found in that dimly lit room. For him, it was about letting go, releasing the tension that followed him offstage, the broken pieces he didn’t need to hide with me. And for me, it was about meeting him where he was, in the fragile beauty of his unguarded moments.
