A Peom inspired by "Make me wanna Die" by the pretty Reckless

Deadly Romance
---------------------------
My skin is cracking
in the fire. You’ve killed me
by dragging me across the line
my throat cut by the wire.

Walking in the mall
with my famous yellow shoes,
Converses, I saw you.
Your arm around her tiny
leather clad shoulders.
She’d found the jacket
I left at your apartment
that July night. She’s lucky
I didn’t rip her to shreds.
The look on your unshaven
face thought I might.

But no, I waited for you,
come back to your hotel room.
I waited for your hand
to touch the paint speckled
door knob before I shoved
hard on you back forcing
you inside.

You stumble, into the neon
blue couch I picked out.
Your eyes are darting
all over me. Your eyeing
my wild frizz and fringe
My white wash tank top
is tight, I’ve seen
that look in your eyes
before

Your eyes make me
burn up in the light.
I would die for you
I’ve lied and cried for you.
Coming close you whisper
she was to make me jealous.
In passion and anger I press
up against the wounds
I’ve licked. We set fire
to the apartment from that blue
couch where you left me for dead
after our hundredth mistake.

Play with fire and usually
it’s only the person that burns.
You killed me setting the blaze
because I came back again.
I lived and never learned.
