Rust

one moments pleasure
lights the fire
plants the seed
for a months pain
and regret
swirling down the drain
dizziness makes
for vomiting

romance is a shallow
hedonistic binge
where sweet nothings
rot in the sun
and sugar turns
a bloody caramel
running slowly
down the drain

down the drain
goes the mood
in the hush house
with yelling blame
against two children
who cant support
new life born of
selfishness

clotted mass
of stress and shame
surrender in the bath
with tears
of murky salt and blood
it bids ugly parting
and goes back to darkness
swirling down the drain
