note to self [elegant words are meant to last forever]

By redtearswhitesnow

you need to put this
miles
behind you
baby
for both [our] sake

your heart-strings
had a warranty
that you never bothered
to buy

your pores reek of vanity
baby
hang out
dry for a while

before
your tongue
turns stale
refusing to speak

of how
[elegant]
she used to be






-dedicated to one of the best poets this site has ever known.
