To me you are smeared bright pink lipstick
An accidental exposure of flesh
The taste of peppermint chewing gum
Cigarettes in black sky.
You are alcohol induced numbness. Not needing a coat.
That long street.
Those insults.
You are a collection of wishes and stupid things.
You might be clever.
You are arguments.
It was hard only being allowed to breathe through my nose.
I don't know what you write with
I imagine it's a black biro
Or you continuously press the undo button on your laptop
Those strangers in your kitchen were nicer than you
They let me out
I wasn't going to kiss you goodbye
I wish I hadn't.
Now there are certain shades of off limits colour.

To me you are smeared bright pink lipstick
An accidental exposure of flesh
The taste of peppermint chewing gum
Cigarettes in black sky.
You are alcohol induced numbness. Not needing a coat.
That long street.
Those insults.
You are a collection of wishes and stupid things.
You might be clever.
You are arguments.
It was hard only being allowed to breathe through my nose.
I don't know what you write with
I imagine it's a black biro
Or you continuously press the undo button on your laptop
Those strangers in your kitchen were nicer than you
They let me out
I wasn't going to kiss you goodbye
I wish I hadn't.
Now there are certain shades of off limits colour.
