Lipstick Stain

i’m sorry
that i’m not sorry
with the champagne 
pink smudges 
like two glasses
of liquor you
clinked your nose
to my cheeks
cheers 
for everlasting 
love

i have a bad habit
of leaving marks
on people’s lives
i would purposely 
misplace things in
their cars
leave notes 
carve touches on
their skin

you can’t get rid of me 
as how you would brush
off my apologies 
but you can’t help 
looking at the stain
on your white shirt

any bleach won’t
clean it like 
you have mashed up
my mind with the 
thoughts of you

i would buy you another 
shirt,
but it will never feel the same 
although it’s new
like how irreversible 
my feelings are 
for you.
