Portrayed in an artiface Of long and grey rhymes Replayed in a video Of really bad lines Lost in a tangency Of bitumen and brick Tangled in quagmire Of cigarettes and sick.
Lurching through life In yesterdays clothes, Acting the part That nobody knows, Chic desperation Apparent to all With the certainty Sheβs for a terrible fall.
Miasma of moods Through a *****, blue haze, Insulting a friend In an instant of craze, Sprawled on the street In a leopard skin skirt, Makeup awry Broken nails in the dirt.
Screaming abuse To the well meaning hand, Lost, alone In a drug ridden land, Fearful of shadows And clinging to those Who lustfully use To so casually dispose.
Blond hair falling Down over her face Mascara running In smears of disgrace, Itβs dangerous to stagger Through traffic in rain With lost high heel, Tear streaked in pain.
Vagrants for company Hunched in a cell, Shivering cold And ****** to hell In a moment of clarity And startlingly clear, A small shimmering hope Lies so distantly near.
