87 shades of lipstick
We had that thing
and you grabbed me
by the face,
and rubbed my
lipstick across my cheek
with your thumb
I was so sick with need
I couldn’t make eye contact.
You told me to clean up
my own fucking messes
So I sank down,
skinning one knee
on the pavement.
My long brown hair
toweled off the
come on your stomach,
and my tongue did the rest.
You nodded as you helped me
back up
sure that I’d learned
my lesson
and stop throwing it
at you like that.
But I still couldn’t make
eye contact,
and the way
my lipstick stained your
shaft was pure
art.
We’ll have that thing.
Again.
Because I have 87 shades
of lipstick.

good evening beautiful Betty
this has a special kind of meaning to me
you have your variety of shades of lipstick which
I took to mean you have so many varieties
of woman you are always leading to surprises
this left me feeling dirty... wowee woman...
fuck me what you do to me...

Thank you crimsin. I'm glad to have fucked you up a little!
Stay dirty, girl. Stay dirty.
Stay dirty, girl. Stay dirty.

There’s a visceral undertone to this I just can’t help but be captivated by.
Immediately what came into my head was the way dogs who hump things are labelled as “showing their lipstick” in slang terms (at least here anyway) and it kinda communicates this brutal level of humans being no better than animals. Indeed, you get a huge level of primal urge through this write.
That image of the mouth becoming the brush in your own version of art is just on point.
In terms of honest critique, I stumbled a bit on the second repetition of “cleaned up my mess” — you could end those lines on “skinned my knees on the pavement” for an added dose of oomph. Also leaves it a little more ambiguous. Just my own thoughts on reading this.
Thank you for sharing this one, it was a treat.

You. See. Everything. You are an absolute goddess and I always want to like, piddle on the ground like a too-excited chihuahua when you turn your eyes my way.
We don't have that same expression, but fuck if I don't love it. It's ugly in its primitive nature, and it fits the theme perfectly.
