Let's do this dirty laundry...

Stains of red wine continue to bleed through my white attire...
I get fed up and throw it in the fire...

The flames screech replaying memories I wanted to forget.

Date night.
Late night.
You got the restaurant cleared.
Held my hand tight.
and looked at me weird.
or what I thought was weird.

Candle lit dinner.
With the man I call sinner.
Main breadwinner.
Made my patience grow thinner.
"eat up." he growled.

"would you like some wine?" the waiter smiled at the both of us.

I nod.
too scared to respond
but keep my head down.

"You look beautiful tonight." He forced a dishonest comment wanting to boast in front of the waiter.

"t-t-thank y-you."
I stammered accidentally,allowing my eyes to well up with tears.
he reached for my hand.

I jumped slightly knowing that nothing ever good happened when he touched me.

"please excuse me and my wife." he laughs until the waiter is out of sight .

he turns back around
slowly smiling sinisterly.
silent but deadly he was.
he bitterly sipped his wine,placing it down.

before smacking the glass sending it flying into my direction.
"clean yourself up." he threw a used napkin at me before disappearing.

I cried and cried till the point that my tears had washed off all the wine on my face...
I cried and cried till the point that my tears had wash off all the make up that covered my old and new painful bruises...

The flames screeched replaying memories I wanted to forget.

Stains of red wine continue to bleed through my white attire...
I get fed up and throw it in the fire...

Let's do this dirty laundry.

Made it to 50 Chapters!!!!

I had a hard time deciding what I wanted to make this chapter about. Well it wasn't really hard , I lied.

I just knew I wanted to make this poem a sensitive and deep one but didn't know if it was suitable for my chapter 50.

But idc I'm happy with it because I really try and make poems for people to relate to , understand, learn, reflect etc.

I'm tryna see if I'm willing to make another 50 more chapters.

Hmmm.
