An Easy Smile and a Leather Jacket

It all started

With an

Easy smile,

And a

Leather jacket,

And a flash

Of sparkling

Dark eyes.

Is it

Too far

To say

I was enchanted?

You hooked me

On your earthy,

Spicy scent,

Encouraged

An addiction

To your

Deep voice.

You seemed

So charming,

You gave me

Roses,

Not just cliche

Red roses,

But white ones,

Amazing then,

But

Not so now

Too pure

For you

Red would've

Fit you

Better

Like the red

That stained

Your carpets

The first

Time you hit

Me

That first time

You made

Me cry

I always

Thought

You were different

But I can't

Tell that

To my

Bruises
