Revenge tactics

almost four years and i still watch the corners.
for headlight teeth creeping in my skull
your project, your damaged goods

after I left i lit up. just for you.
I dance with my charcoal lungs,
I'm reborn, flicking away the ashes,
rinsing myself of your crack scarred cheeks.

you said sun damage, I said I'm not naive.

I was alive and burning
the grass tickled my feet
sweat prickled my shoulders,
high strung.

you were on your knees and shaking
you begged, you hollered
still I said no, strutting in front of you
breasts high, hips back
I mocked you with the body
the one you said you owned

its his now, I told you
you imprinted on fresh cut thighs
and it was for the time in the rain
when you pulled over,
letting the thunder take me

they called me a bitch,
it was the best day of my life
