Emerald stems,
Silk, crimson petals,
Love letters,
Candlelit dinner.
Petals turn brown,
Love letters burnt,
Candles smashed,
Dinner, alone.
Hushed tears,
Fist-punctured plaster,
Beer can cracked,
You're the new target.
Fractured smile,
Latent bruising,
Oppressive nights,
Ensuite weeping.
Emerald stems withered,
Rotted in glass,
The petals have fallen—
Another can cracked
