Love Me Tender

I saw you walk away from me, your eyes like burnt pastries Tasteless was your gaze and tainted was your smirk. I saw the last of your silk locks, saving themselves from my satin ruffles. Useless was the lingerie I'd run my fingers through when you'd lean closer. You told me my smile was the sun, yet you left in your spacecraft Flirting with the stars, you left my glowing figure in a mist veil of polluted smoke. You said I would drown in each lingering kisses, deep in a sea promised to never dry up. You held me down with your addicting anchor; tempting was your touch and hopeful was your blush. I saw you walk away, Tasteless; Tainted; Useless; Refugee; Polluted; Suffocating; Addicting; Hopeful. I love you.
