Heartbreak
By: Sergeant Avery Johnson
Between the
peppermint coffee
And the tango dance lessons
(Midnight, on the
beach)
She'll make you fall
Into a candy-filled "love"
That
barely conceals
The shadowed thorns and needles
Underneath.
But
she never wanted
To fall in love,
Definitely not with you.
So
she'll leave;
Pack up her flashy things
That you bought
her
In hot pink luggage bags.
There will be no trace of her,
No
proof she existed,
Except the thorns and needles
You now sleep
in.
