Until Next Time

Folder: 
Dusk

Butterflies fill my stomach,

Before that parasitic romance

Slowly hollows out my heart

Like termites to a rotting log.

It’s the same cycle

Of love and death and decomposition,

To be followed by the birth of a new love.

It happens every time.

It starts with

the rouge on my lips smearing with a kiss

And fades with

my black mascara bleeding down my cheeks after a goodbye.



It’s as simple as:

Hello.

Be mine.

I love you.

Goodbye.

Broken heart.

The end.

(Until next time.)
