Ash Tray

By Eagle

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Even though I hated you Oh how I loved you And I know I told you to go But that was words - I meant please stay You forgot my birthday all three years And I gave you beautiful things Things that sat alone in drawers Every April 17th - No way I would forget You kissed me and it tasted so burnt I felt like I was sucking on an ash tray I told you how I hated it I wished that you would stop You made me feel so dirty but it felt so good Oh you made so many ugly things beautiful for me I'm missing you Just like you said I would Just like I knew I would When I slammed the door right in your face Now I miss the burt taste The only thing that I can do Is smell the smoke and lick an ash tray I can fake it that it's you Written December 30th, 2001 © on Dec 30 2001 12:51 PM PST   10 • 0
