Dark lips that bled of a love
So raw it could be spoken only from a drag on your mother's cigarette
Dark lips to match a soul stitched of runaway lovers
Lifted from your reach
And I can no longer find the horizon in your eyes
Stolen
By words he forged of hades blood
Rolling about in your mind even still
You carved them into you
To mask skid marks of his love on your thigh
Bleed out the memories
External scars to match the internal ones
Your tattoos
You say you imagine one reads "strength"
Another "fearless"
"Punishment"
The only beauty you see in the girl in the mirror,
Is the beauty you undo
