poisoned wine
your love spilled wine on that white Ralph Lauren dress shirt of mine
but now your love is gone
and the stain still remains,
I don’t want your remains
so I scrub, scrub, scrub
but it seems the harder I scrub
the bigger the stain becomes,
f*ck, f*ck, f*ck
how am I expected to live with that stain?
I could throw out the shirt
however that would be unfair
because of how many nights I spent talking to you wearing it,
and I could simply use bleach
but I don’t want to ruin your ghosted sweet scent,
I just don’t want the stain you left behind
