Another Charred Romance
She felt the calloused hands of a wrinkled scheme
around the throat of her pierced divinity.
Loosen another chapter,
let it fall unto the hips
of another severance.
Breathe in the disgust.
Swallow the pill,
and let beauty fade.
Tonight,
is just another plague
on both our hearts.
