White
scratched
in between
eyelids of
cream- no-
white-
in the crevice of
your face and
mine
remember?
White is what
sticks to me more than
it to you
because your insides
sprayed on my
outside is your version of
hot
but it's sick and you
do it anyways
so White it was
that when i washed it down
the drain
all i saw was
your stupid face
in the translucency
you begged me to bend over on the
White sheets
and the silhouettes traced by
White
bulbs lathered on your
cheeks twice
not three times
just twice.
White
sprinkled
under my eyelashes
you didn't notice but
i did it for
you
the White
would mimic yours but it
didn't
nor did you see
and my cover was gone
the color of mine
not yours-
White-
the color of the thing
the figure
i saw when i shut my eyes
the opposite of your black
White
the symbol in ethics-
the latter
White
when i got dressed to see
you i thought
it was your favorite color
but White isn't a color
you told me no
it's a shade white is
a shade white is
a shade
so why doesn't it darken my face when i
put my hand over my mouth?
lastly White were
the words that stuttered
out of my mouth
when you lent me your hands
and told
me to get up
told me to clean
up because
i was wearing
White on my feet
and
White in my hair
and all over my stomach
thanks to you.
