Whore Under Glass

Never think highly of people.
When they fall (and they will),
They'll end up using you to break their fall.

The line between good and evil
looks blurry through the bottom of a bottle.

Leave your prayers at the door.
There will be no salvation here today.

.
.
.
.
I'm waiting for you to ask me the right questions.
I'm tired of saying, "tomorrow will be better",
when there is no tomorrow.

Living my life in a glass case.
Wings pinned down,
fearing my escape.

...(but at least the crimson material brings out the cherry in my lips)

That's about the 3rd or 4th time I've read this and feel ready to comment. Beautifully abstact, I love this like a Joy Division record. This should feel horrid for all its negativity but because of the way this is written, it's gorgeous. Write on, Drea!

very bleak with a touch of a sardonic ending; this bubbles with hatred and invections of injected unease....damn *lives in a cupboard from here on in*
