Being cheated on. Hard to swallow, like mud.
Thick, metallic tasting. Chlorine & blood.
In the end, I was thrown away for him. My soul
flayed alive, “sacrifice” scrawled across my chest in lamb’s blood.
She tried to pin it on me, shaking my unnerved hand before
bleaching her own, so only mine was covered in both our blood.
Her explanation reeked. Sulfur insincerity & oozed out words,
like corn starch & month old blood.
Her coal black eyes & stony onyx heart never
wanted my love. She was always out for blood.
