Your scent-still on my skin
alcohol mixed with cheap cigarettes.
I have tried to wash it off
but have always failed.
I now wear you like perfume
leaving trails for thirsty men.
They follow me like hungry wolves-
hunting to feed on my flesh.
But I will only cut my skin open
when it's your teeth on my body.
You can consume me on broad daylight
Leave me when you're full
and I'm empty.
