...5

(see "..." for an explanation)

I'm not taking her life, just her livelihood.

Death is this glamorous buggy ride, they say.

Watching each page burn, turning ash by ash.

Oh to wake up to the warmth, his hands near your pillow, his breath in your hair.

Everyone believes someone beautiful.

Blood on your knuckles like wet rubies.

My standards like chain link fences...

What a pretty soul you have.
