Unwanted

Ribbons in you hair.

Diamonds in your ears.

 

Magazine clippings line the floor.

Pictures clutter the desk.

Friends, lovers, family.

 

You feel like a faked ****** unwanted.

Clinging to what you know is right

and bordering what you know is wrong.

 

Playing Russian roulette with fate.

Rolling the dice and raising the stakes.

Neither will save you now.

 

But don't forget to smile and

Bat your lashes.

For when we leave you to rest in peace.
