I wish you could stop leaking into my poetry, the way blood stains ruin white gowns and satin, the way dark wine ruins Italian designer sheets and blankets. You see I know because I’ve been cutting off pieces of you and drinking myself to sleep to forget you.

I was never a masochistic fool, I was dust and ashes and silver lining; which is the remains of unanswered prayers and bad decisions and you just happen to love disasters and broken dolls. You were always such a liar and I was always so gullible.

You taste like withdrawals and cheap wine. Though, I only say this because I’ve been leaving addictions of you and drinking on a daily basis; and only the cheap wines because I have been gambling my way back into reason. I’ve never been good with money or luck.

You should see the spaces in between now and the way I am forgetting to breathe on occasion. I don’t miss you at all, but only because I woke up still drunk and bleeding...
I'm changing the color of my sheets to red...

this is very well done,

"unanswered prays " might read better as "unanswered prayers"

and

"and they way I am forgetting " as "and the way I am forgetting"


still all the same,
beautiful work.
