I burnt my lingerie


I burnt all my lingerie
All that he used to dig -
Because I was too easy
Because it began to sting.

I burnt all my lingerie
All those fancy ones!
Which on me, made him crazy
And, helped me feel some lust.

I burnt all my lingerie
For I felt he came for them.
The nights without them on -
I felt hapless, not strong.

I burnt all my lingerie
And smiled at what I saw
Loved what looked back at me now, 
No longer felt like a whore!

I burnt all my lingerie
And poof! That ended it all.
He had stopped craving me -
And stopped knocking at my door.

I burnt them down to ashes
For I wanted him to see -
I am beyond my lingerie
And all those lacy reds.
