ice cream on sun kissed lips unloved

heartbreak
it comes and goes like an ocean
casting empty shells to shore
where sunsets taste like love
but sunsets
they disappear under a black gown 
where barefoot girls let their hopes drown
and their sand hearts wash away
and then the highs and lows
and the beautiful mix of red and blue
in every rainbow
make for east
to someone else’s dawn
and then it tastes like whores 
in an alley road
it tastes like home 
when you rot alone
tastes like ice cream
on sun-kissed lips unloved
it tastes like loss

heartbreak
is  being stuck in a ghost town
with nothing on
but your Christ crown 
of worries and digging pains
and you are as dirty as your secrets, girl
so hurry, dig up your dirty secret hell
before the ladybugs and the buttercups
the lilacs and the butterflies
find their way
into someone else’s lawn
and then it tastes like whores (…)

so I say
better swallow this mush 
cause nothing in your gut is designed to last

the hide and seek
of skin on skin
the perfect sex scene 
right off a film
took the broom
and flew into someone else’s room
and now it tastes like whores (…)
