Red
I saw a long, lost friend today.
Years, it has been,
since he gazed and grazed
upon my flesh.
Years since the
candy apple red stained
him and I together.
Long have I avoided him,
long have I succeeded.
But no longer.
He kisses me with
sharp tongue
and promises of
the end.
Take me a little further,
I do,
know me a little better,
I do,
hold me just a little tighter,
he whispers.
And I do.
Shamefully,
I do.

I'm sorry it's all been so dark lately. Now it's just...angst. I feel like a ******* teenager again. I'm really ashamed of myself right now. I shouldn't be dredging up this old habit.

It's so dark lately.
