look after yourself,
swollen mouth
overgrown toe-nails.
teeth yellowed by coffee,
smelt of lust

you did this to me.

no,
i was the **** kissing
drinking liquor that burnt my feet
my eyes
the rush of the dark liquid that
tainted my body
i ****** him, and him, and him,
and i pretended to love,

to love

to love.

i did it all by myself.
