Rotted In Glass
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
