But He Seemed So Nice
(Mentions of abuse and sexual activities briefly)
Softness blurs
Enveloping me
Take me to a place I’ve never been
Sweetheart
My love
Lie me down in grass covered graves
Where we can embrace in fickle death
Forevermore
This pavement is so cold
And so hard
Did you not promise
Liar
Bitch
Did you not promise you’d be gentle?
This craven lust takes away the romance
Of the slap
You leave upon my lips
Cradle me
Honey
Drink me in
Till I’m drowning in your syrupy mess
Contrary to thoughts I’ve jut spoken
Confusion and dizziness is blissful
Heart attack with the Hersheys kiss you left on my pillow
Gas station clerk looked you up and down
We fought later
You said it was my fault
That I attracted attention
Not your yelling
Skirt twisting
Knickers revealing
The sour sickliness of your apology
Your tongue meant to say it all
Yet your silence saying more
Honey your just a scent
Fooling no one
Of your solidity
Shifting in and out of my life like a dream
Perhaps I prefer dull reality
