ms. heartbreak

By virginalnympho

my weathered lips have pressed themselves against one too many souls
my fingernails have dug themselves into a few too many backs
& my footsteps pounded towards doors, broken hearts in their wake
and my harsh sentiments have bled down cracked concrete tracks
where boys go to run away from the caustic lips that captured them
lured them into seductive lullabyes they had no defense for
corroded veins filled with promises i tried to not make
as i whisper an empty& hallow apology when i walk past their door
dressed in scarlet and ebony; marked with a blazing A no one sees
ignited cigerette hangs from my lips to tease a boy i've already had
my mouth curled into a smirk, another victim in sight
press myself against his insecurites, and promise him life isn't so bad
my hips press against his, i lead his hands to the small of my back
kiss him softly til my poison flows through his bleeding veins
naive to my hidden agenda and my vile ways of pleasure
he relinquishes control and yet another boy is left with my stains
my remaints of heartbreak drip from my acidic mouth
biting its way into the hearts of boys who did me no wrong
ridding myself of the one boy that got to me before i hurt him
draining away my innocent weakness in return to be cold yet strong
punishing every man for the one man who punished me
beating my tears into the souls of every man i can kiss
so that i can wash away my ache, my pain, and fuck away my love
& walk away leaving them with something more than a slut to miss
i want them to love me, to need me, to crave for my touch
they have to pay for the tears that i wasted on the boy that got away
they have to lie awake & whisper my name, ms. heartbreak
i'm sorry, they have to want to hear from me what he wouldn't say
