LOVE
is a word you allow to slip so easily out of your red tinted lips
followed by a seductive glance over your slightly raised shoulder
a cue your mascara thickened eyelashes know too well
you'll accept this binding because
your heart is so infatuated that his must be too
...
right?
It leaked,
dripped
spilled
empty promises that he carelessly whispered in your ear
that wore the diamonds he bought,
reciting the cliché line
'i will love you forever'
and when he stops,
I will be there.

My ears are rhythmically in tune with your lips;
i will know then they tremble.

You will not keep his secrets.
so all over the place
maybe
just maybe
a world in black and white
isnt half bad after all
i mean
that dog is happier than me

a lot happier
Pulling away
doesn't always
involve movement.
