Red Lipstick & A Pocket Full of Knives

Contributed by amber_vonHorror on Wednesday, 16th January 2008 @ 10:07:42 PM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry

the raindrops falling from her eyes
soaks the makeup she uses to hide
everything she has locked inside
and we look to her heart and attempt to pride
its secrets away
as she sips her champagne
and leaves the lipstick on the glass
its blood red.
so full of life
without it shes so drained
without it we can see her pain

the waterproof mascara begings to trickle
as she rubs her eyes so delicately
with the grace of angel but the anger of the devil
they both take a hold of her
Duelling with eachother on both sides of her shoulder
She cant listen to one
And ignore the other
So she drowns another glass
And sits alone in the dark

She traces every bone structure
Her collarbone, her hips
She runs the tiny razorblade
Across her soft lips
The blood looks black only in the dark
But darkness or night
Its black like her heart

Nictone fix and a drop of a pill
Another cask of whine
She can only sit still
And we wonder
We wonder why
How this tainted angel
Lots the ability to fly
