The Devil's Love-Ridden Abuse II POETRY Second Edition

032💀

Ash stains on my jeans

you're still on my mind

cherry on my skin
you're still there
pain doesn't block you out

freezing hands
shaking body
withdrawals from your warmth

butt burning my fingertips
burning my lips
dying to feel you again

strike the lighter
repeatedly as it goes out
had it in my head that'd be us

inhale the poison
your scent
it's toxic yet everywhere

hold it in
least I did that part right
never took a moment of you for granted

exhale the best
as the smoke leaves
I realise you did too
like it's the first time all over again

close my dreary eyes
and repeat it all over again
