The bottom dropped out

Without me upright, damaged

My balance still tricky

Nurse where have you gone?


I'm propped up staring at change

Shiny-$3.26 to be exact

And mirrored Hugo Boss

A scent I've taken as my own

Unisex you say, the sex gone away


My bed a temporary respite

A vacation of sorts, for you

A decadent den of motions

Drinking me in...fruity

Sickening sweet, drunk lust


All I can smell is vinegar

Clam baskets, fries stinging

My eyes, the fire inside

Extinquished. The church disapproves

Pointing a cross, as judgement

Comes down, on me and age

Not on my side-fails me


No longer a school girl

I didn't pass the test

Of acceptable on any level

For their boy still home

And needing their approval

He cuts his temporary ties

And stays bound to

Unrealistic expectations of

A child really, masquerading

Off what he thinks he is


Internet savvy, using big words

And a pretty boy package on

Women who should know better

But blinded by perfect it

Lasts no longer than his

Fleeting attention span


And looking to improve his standing

I'm pushed aside, with his eyes

Always searching...surprise

And I'm left with spare change

That in the end amounted

To nothing

Kind of sad indeed.

The whisper of your words is deafening.....Really, really good!

Stuck like glue, bound, pound for pound.
Only my shadow. Now follows me around.
bitter sweet, and very nicely done..

I'm in love with this.
