Sleep.
January 24, 2014
Blonde hair, crooked teeth, cigarette breath and sagging queen.
Dreaming of a princess, silly girl, you’re someone’s mistress.
Pale skin, tainted black and blue, with the promises that it won’t occur again.
Words that have lost their meaning. You wish could be true.
The holes in your arm, the syringe on the floor.
The police knocking at the door.
The nightmare is over, sleep my dear.
