I drink away my thoughts of you
recently lock away in bedroom drawers
next to old [love] letters and ripped condom wrappers
what a selfish thing to do, forgetting you
your insense burns my senses, I light it to remind me
These walls run red with echoing pain,
Shut up already, I ((hate)) you!
Does she know that you fucked me in these sheets?
You colored my rainbow [black and blue]
I swallow you down with bacardi and coke
and my heart
d

in inebriated anxiety.
I thought this bottle would be more then a fruitful haze
but all you do is run through me! [thoughts of you t.o.u.ch.i.n.g her]
the more I swallow you, the more ViVid your hands.
soak me in rum so I may re-map this relentless t*r*i*p.
what a [s e l f i s h] girl I am, forgetting you
Shut up already! I ((hate)) you!

'condom' . Sad I have to know that.
Shame I ever had a need for them.
Oh, to the days I was a virgin. Well, screw that. No pun intended.
Know how you feel on this one though hon, I am feeling this way alot recently.

This sure is an amazing poem, Amber. I think that it is full of emotion of which I usually don't show... since I don't do dirty pretty really at all. I think that it's really good, though.
Keep up the great work, Amber. I am going to read that other one of yours, too... so far, you're a great writer and it's... well, great!
ROCK ON! -
I have a contest too!!
Thanks for reading tainted, although what led you tehre I do not know.
I have no idea about dirty poretty. None!
However, your poem rocks. Its visual, it's raw, and to the point.
I've bookmarked it.
