Hi, you've got some good images going on here. I've left a couple of thoughts that may help.
There are some good concrete images and some nice ideas in here. Some of the punctuation seems a bit wayward, some commas feel as though they should be full stops.
Also just realised that this is in the 'novice' forum so I shouldn't have done a line by line really... Shhh, don't tell anyone.
Thanks for the read,
Mark

Fine wine, and expensive cologne drown me, --- Careful of 'fine' next to 'wine', it adds a sing-song kind of element that doesn't suit the poem
Thank god I saw the monster at last.
I didn't see the tissues stained red, --- I presume that this refers to lipstick, it would probably be best to make it clearer
Until it was too late, --- This could be trimmed to "I saw the red stained tissues too late", without losing meaning
I gave you all, you gave me none, --- "none" feels awkward here although "nothing" would be cliche, is there another way of saying this
That was my mistake
how did I miss the lacy thong on the floor,
The dirty handprints adorning the door. --- Good images here but the rhyme seems out of place for this poem.
They warned me of you, I was such a fool,
This is the price I pay. --- Is this cliche?
