Girlfriend

I washed and combed your hair today

And then I took you home

Forgot to lock the door again

You didn’t say a word

The silence it disturbed you

The cool air made you freeze

So I wrapped us up in blankets

And kissed you on the cheek

But even though I washed you

And you were soft and clean

Your toes were purple bruises

Your fingers grey and dim                                

The smell was overwhelming

The tears came to my eyes

So I held you as I promised:

“I’ll bury you tonight.”  

(It's been 6 months and i still don't have anything to say, so have some really old poetry from 2013.)
