Eye Makeup
she crawling to the top of the ladder

suits torn broken ladder

eye make up pearl bracelet

one foot in the grave

the other in the basement

can't be a gentleman

she's a chaser

she cannot be a replacer

Ink on the scars

so no one can

erase her

beautiful deadly

beautiful bad dream

I have to leave the door locked

my keys in my pocket

yer possession are your

obsessions

Why bother to dream anymore

It's lousy dead ends with just too many questions

we're walking away from one another
