Spindrift Romeo, Raindrop Juliet {w.kourtnissixxx}

 
I’m the stallion that’s never been tamed
I’m the meanest dog on the block
I’m the cat that needs to stray.
 
my woman gets sick of the beating
the drink & the drugs & the cheating –
but at times I will hold her, sweet-like,
and that makes her tears go away…

I was the tapestry of hotel in a bottle
and you loved my dirty decoration
strung out like tattered ribbons
discarded on the pavement
 
I remember your religious smile
the way I found hell in a prayer
as I knelt for ruin at half past midnight
savoring the after-taste of sins
and my faith starved in bondage
 
darlin’ I still taste your confessions on my tongue
lathered in absolution and guillotine spit
my exploited wet dream
your marred addicted queen
it seems the years only amplify the high
god gets off on…

one day she dressed real fancy
painted on her lipstick & liner
and pursued her valiant vendetta.
 
she swayed into the bar like a panther
and she aimed at my barbarous heart
she blew me a kiss, like a lover –
shot me dead with her Pico Beretta.
