Crimson Blood of Betrayal

Your musky scent was clothed in magic

I breathed your scent and backstroked

through your crimson blood of betrayal.

I turned my face to your sun

and saw your beauty as you promised

me the world on your platter.

The sobs of your wind laughed at my pain.

My nights with you burned quickly

as I drank you with my eyes

gulping your music in my hunger.

I felt your tarnished knife in my back,

my exposed rouge wounds dripping.

My universe trembled as you

were lying and I was dying alone.

You went back to your other life

tossing me like a used shirt

into your hamper of deceit.

Empty air washes off your taste

from my soul as my heart marches on,

refuse pile of bittersweet memories,
