Struggling from dirty grey sheets with
a soul in desparate rebellion from
last night’s too much tequila I
struggled my sad angry body to
that dark filthy bathroom from
those months ago when she left.
Gazing into the crooked mirror my
heart again grieved seeing the
perfect red lipstick kiss she
diabolically placed there from
those months ago when she left.
No other mark or memory remains but
that red mark I dare not kiss fearful
of the smearing destruction that
all would be forever lost from
those months ago when she left.
Damn you mirror memory holder to
demand my jealous response for
having received that last warm
affection denied me from
those months ago when she left.
