Through an unclosed eye,
I watch what you thought I’d never see.
The tears blur my sight.
But I don’t have the strength to blink.
Still you scratch at my back.
Pretending I’d never seen it.
The cyanide from your lipstick,
Burning kisses into my neck.

You certainly don't deserve that! You deserve gentle love and kisses!

My goodness, Preston, "An Embrace Unwanted" ~ to be sure!

Giving you a warm, GENTLE hug,
