He smiled at the colour of concussion on my face, as each little speckled word hit a heart so torn and incomplete, it had nothing left to cling onto.
i.
that kiss felt eternal like embers,
but everyone knows the firefighter puts out the blaze
[or the blaze puts out the firefighter.]
ii.
he had those large lips that tempted kisses upon the forehead -
but I still allowed our bodies to press together and create perfect friction
that even hydronomics couldn't displace.
in the sweetest way, he swayed my senses into lullabies
and before I knew heavens face, I was falling into an abyss;
'don't wash your hands of me yet baby, there is no hope in heavens lies
and none more than never.'
But I sighted and bought into the lies like a cheap prize.
iii.
'cut each syllable from your lips, perhaps then you'll die a princess.'
You left me with scars of scarlet across my lips and bones.
Looking back, I recognise what I saw as angels kisses, stings from a thousand hives.
I lost each scream when I uttered your name for the first and last time -
this is what they told me being taken for a ride felt like;
ever since I've never gone on an amusement park ride.
Author notes
This is how it goes, when you breaking into a thousand pieces and don't know how to let it go.
This is about being second best, about someone not loving you, no matter how much you beg them to.

Well penned
Sometimes people we think we love and that we know everything about, pull the wool over our eyes and surprise the heck out of us. It's hard to trust again with scars like that.
