neon flashing lights.
electric bright.
blood poisoned with ink.
fatally gorgeous.
running the streets
of Las Vegas.
sleepless nights.
deadly venom in the
form of needles.
gun shots in the alley.
midnight games.
dancing for money,
roll the dice.
one for the money.
two for the ****.
three for your soul.
if you play your
cards right,
your life may be saved.
controlling your thoughts
in bright nights.
then one shot
and they’re gone.

“In Hollywood they’ll pay you a million dollars for a kiss but only fifty cents for your soul.”
- Marilyn Monroe
