My Red Bedroom Door

We lied there, between her sheets,

finger painting on each others skin.

and then she kissed me for the first

 

time after we- and that is when I knew,

that her love was the kind of love that burns

as it travels down your throat

 

And all I could taste were the lovers in her past,

the hearts that she broke,

and I knew that if I stayed my heart

 

would burn amongst theirs, so...

I did what I do best.

I gathered up my clothes that fell

 

on to the ground an hour before we-

I walked to the door and twisted the

glass stained ****

 

and left

That morning when I woke upon

my sheets. I kissed my darling, promised,

girl next to me and tasted

nothing
