cauterize
“it was remiss. how the taste of you on my lips. drew me in.
drowned me. in unending bliss. it should have been unfair.
how sweet you came to me. soft kisses. that disappeared on my skin like mist.
you licked at my wounds. like tears. flowers petals appeared.
where pain
whet like stabbing fears. you pushed. i trembled. you got me hooked;
roll up and light up the kush. heal me. stay away from the unending fight.
overlook me.
as i cauterize my wounds. with fire and ice. overlook me.
as your eyes miss where wounds dried. hardened. scabbed.
shame on you. for me. you flew. for me. you drowned.
IN A GARDEN. WHERE WEEDS NO LONGER GROW.”
