Oct 2017
Found at the bottom of bottles and cigarette packs,
the truth went down like a shot of gin and thumb tacks.

Hard to swallow, yet harder to digest,
the actuality hurts more above my left breast.

Because reality is not as pretty as the pictures you paint,
masquerading as a highly patron saint.

Your voice, once beautiful, sings only lies,
the nausea felt, poisoning my butterflies.
