Carpet (Haines Emily)

You can burn your paper fingers in the ashtray Drown your swollen lips in my ruby wine You can shave your heavy head in my carpeted hallway Lie on the floor like so many before being sure for the first time You chose the right clothes to wear You can burn your paper fingers in the ashtray Drown your swollen lips in my ruby wine As you laugh to erase to erase all the dirt in this place Making sure for the last time together is nowhere
