Details From The Pink Curtains
The last time I wrote to you
I could barely see your ignorance through my glass tears
I was so elated after all of these years
I thought you finally saw my true purity
But I was false
As I shut off the world for the night
I looked at the moon.
Within the shadow Luna created
I could see her details from the pink curtains
I told her about you
and I was fairly certain
That you were an incubus
Silly me
wanting to be your next victim
You never wanted me
as alluring as I tried to be
I was a girl
and I still am
Thank you for showing me how a man can be a sham
And if we meet again
I’ll tell you the state
Of my bandaged heart
still aching
Only feeling my awakening
Not through you
but monsters indeed similar
I still listen to Gainsbourg and I explore my bookshelf
I wanted to be Jane
not a watered down Brigette
Bonnie and Clyde
in our Comic Strip
I never held your hand
the way I dreamed I would
I love you
and a place in my heart is always vacant
But the next time you decide to kill me
Do it through the pink curtains
where our skin can never touch
Just like you always wanted

This is based on a true experience I had last year. Sometimes, a person from our past contacts us and settles everything. You might think that they want to finally confess their love for you, but the painful truth always reveals itself. Unrequited love is a wound that heals slowly, and contacting this person again opens it again.
