Dirty cigarette smiles <br />And alcohol stained kisses <br />Curled up like a frightened child <br />As she so painfully reminisces <br />The tourniquet wrapped tightly <br />Around her needle bruised arm <br />A life time of helpless regret <br />A life time of agonizing self-harm <br />Lost memories of a lonely child <br />With her mascara run tears <br />Trapt deep down beneath <br />Her dark macabre fears <br />Lying cold and still upon the floor <br />A bloodstained knife in her hand <br />Her innocent eyes now closing <br />As she leaves this wicked land<br /><br />nicola burkett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/25-cigarette-smiles-and-alcohol-stained-kisses/
