she does(nt) want me anymore//

My mouth gapes open as I lay eyes on her

Someone put a rock in it I can not close my mouth

She is stunning

Like a bird of paradise

Magnificent

Eyes as brown as chocolate cake

The one we shared at her house.

Dress as red as cherry slush

The one we drank at the bowling alley-

The first time we met.

Her heels as black as-

My heart when I see her eyes meet

Another man's.

The one I called my best friend.
