Love Interruption

I don’t know how to please you or your dark cherry scent.

I waste thoughts and time on you, but I cannot pay my rent.

You spin like an angel crashing towards the depths of hell,

And your laughter rings clearer than the local church bells.

I spend my money on porn, it distracts me for a while,

But then I think about your perfume and curse out the miles.

My heartbeat loses rhythm as your lip meets your teeth.

My chest craves this flame, but I cannot bear the heat.
