Black paint smeared against the edges of the eyes/ every single tear screamed a raging cry/ perfume lingers on the surface of your skin/ was as a toxic smell for me/ but I denied/ every late night arrival was smeared with red lipstick/ and still I refused to believe the tales that had been told about you/ why is it that I fix up excuses and excuses to dismay the evidence/ but I don't think I can retaliate with the fact that there's a woman in the house/ messy hair and uneven breathes/ red puffy lips followed with unbuttoned shirts/ your words say forgive me/ a deer caught dead in the light of headlights/ why your shadow hid you in a blanket of charming features/ the light that disposed you/ truly shows your adultery sins -a.j.c
