Blue To Black

Mirror fragments that are staring back
Livid lips and an eye that’s turning blue to black
Cracked
Sweaty walls that keep me company
And the stink of perfume primes my memory
Luxury
Takes you in its arms won’t you honey hush
Senses drawing skin that crawls and squirms to touch
Crushed
Whisper words into my mouth and bite
Coming up for air and to suffocate delight
Spite
Mirror fragments that are staring back
Livid lips and an eye that’s turning blue to black
Cracked
With an after-taste so sweetly sour
I embrace the shame as it hugs me cheek by jowl
Howl
