And.

and love tainted her tongue, smudging her lipstick
and the sick smell of wanting stuck to her person
and her stagger gave away
her inebriated heart
and his smile hung loosely over her shoulders
and his keys left a hole in her chest
and his arms wrapped around
her soul
and words dribbled down her chin
and explosions dotted her skin
and the confessions were smudged
on her fingertips
and she,
and her,
and if,
.

I think this is awesome!! I love how the poem begins with "and" and that it's lowercase, it kind of makes everything more connected in my opinion by not differentiating/separating the "beginning" from the "end" and making it seem like a loop. The ideas and writing all tie together nicely and overall your piece sounds great !! 😸

Love this.
I consider myself a beginner writer and quite frankly speaking, don’t have much appreciation for my own writing. That may be because of the truly poor state of my written work or the inherent insecurity that comes with being an artist. Either way, I am grateful for this opportunity and have great respect for the arts, especially literature. This piece was simply something that sprung up in my mind and I think it is one of my better ones.
