why did u
let me
why did u
tempt me
with
levity
& ure
easy going way
ure better at this game
than me
&
i wish
i never
played
i was swayed
to caress
ure ache
i was oblivious
that such
a mistake
would haunt me
still
tattered
hollowed
emptied
swallowed up
by this twister
i was
riding
& u knew it
all along
dirty
little
secret
u asked the questions
i answered w/ my body
u sought me out
of my cavern
of solitude
to
bleed
for
u
i wish
i never
met u
goddess knows
i never meant to
follow u into the desert
but ure eyes
were so sullen
ure laughter
so sudden
like the disaster
that followed
my
lonestar
back at camp
sending smoke signals
of agony
relating his tragedy
to some other
damsel
in
distress
i was dressed
to be bitten by u
it was easy
to be smitten by u
regardless or ure
warnings
the morning sun
sears my flesh
poisoned
by some
rattlesnake
i found
in my bed
though
he never liked
my shade
of red
his
hisses
still
linger
