HASTY – Some shoes, hard to get off
PROMPT: Walk in her shoes.
It started
With a knock
And promises
And became
Too many hotel rooms
Hidden under covers
Wishing away stars
Scrubbing on floors
Dishonesty oozed
Wordless and false
A contract signed
Between her and death
Lay down with me mama
Let me tell you a story
Close your eyes
Let me tattoo your insides
With the heat of my lies
Too many powders
Not enough needles
Write on my veins
Until every memory is
Swallowed by night
