In a 5 am wonder
A nicotine dawn
A black coffee haze
And a slow song start
I think about you
Possibly thinking about me
Viridian Sep 2018
As she shook, smoke wisped from her cracked puckered lips

Spirits soared up and down, drowning her somber with a sting and burn

Denying her lungs the right to heave and supply, necessary to sustain life

Refusing her soul the right to feel and sympathize, necessary to live for the sake of him

her
Her body is a temple buried underneath lahar and regret
Her love is a garden unattended and left to burn
Her eyes are a midnight sky dominated by rainclouds
Her happiness is dictated by a bottle and Marlboro Reds
Her heart is an old love song grown bitter to the ear
She has no regard for herself
With no one to worship her temple
To tend to her garden
To gaze upon her sky
To replace her vice with virtue
To sing her song
All she could do now is wait for yet another to come around
And hope for the best that they'll be able to make her feel beautiful
