Perfection laid out on satin sheets
Beauty dripping away piece by piece
Every dream slipped right through
Life & loss masked by laughing creases
He said you were everything he desired
Burning deep in his soul, but you refused
Moving too fast to stop & notice him
Yet you cry foul, saying you were abused
The sun rises no matter who is pained
Recall broken hearts when you’re the cause
Plump out your pretty pink lips
In the quiet of night, please retract your claws
Calm thyself, you know your own heart
Time to realize you’re the fatal flaw
Lounging early in the morning She wore an animal print I couldn’t recall I poured another cup to erase the cobwebs A chilly morning; slipping past Fall
She was sleek & beautiful, a deadly shade Overly dramatic in the best possible sense Passion in abundance for my sole benefit Edging to a climax at our soul’s expense
