[ nasty nasty nasty ]

▪️▪️▪️

it should've been the dead snakes in your nostrils
that told me of your deceit.
the dirt on your boots
and leather seats
that told me i wasn't your
first soulmate.

that girl in the front now
dripping in molasses
and lollipop dust
with fingers around your
skin unburnt
all tied up pretty in a bow.

you can't see me
in the backseat
getting carsick
and hazy.

i should have opened the door
and rolled out onto the
naked desert road
long before i let you take the wheel and steer us into oblivion.

why didn't i see your snake eyes sooner.
