you remind me of red lipstick.
pretty on some,
ugly on others.
then you leave a stain.

 

you looked good on me.
but i don’t want you here
anymore.

 

i don’t want you
smeared on me.
not at all.

 

and i’m trying to get you off.
i’m trying
very hard.

 

i’m scrubbing,
hard
at the corners of my soul.
it’s not working.

 

you’re lingering
and it’s ruining
the rest of me.

 

you remind me of red lipstick.
pretty on some,
ugly on others.
and now you’ve stained me.
