Would you Still be Pretty With Your Teeth Kicked In?

About a chick I'm not horribly fond of.

She’s not an angel but people think she is without wings and booze dipped lips

Just a pretty face all decorated up with the Christmas glow of an upturned nose

Chestnut colored hair, a thin frame and cold eyes that freeze your blood to slushy

I won’t say much for her brain.

 

She burnt all that on smoke and pills

 

I’m not unkind

                                Unpleasant

              Uncool

Or ya know I probably am

At least to her and her tiny fingers knee deep in her own filth

 

She’s always looking at me with eyes spelling out the words

                      TRASH  

Am I just not the right kind of party for her good looking crew of bad news?

Her eyes can’t catch on mine. She’s not a decent enough person for that

 

She’s ignoring me even now

As we’re streets apart having the same soiree with a different group of broken lovers

Every night.

 

I’m sitting next to her

Or I was some days and nights

She’s still betraying me with her bony ribcaged lungs

Waiting to be hacked out of her existence with a saw

Her gaze is too busy on glowing screens and smoke screens

 

Glazed over gazes don’t touch

 

Boy if that’s not a distinguishable scent of booze

                         Blood

                                    And green smoke

She smells like poison, god damn it I know it’s not me

Under my exterior

F**k. I’m just trying to be friendly after all

I could really careless for a real

                    B***h

Like her

 

Everything will be A ok

So long as she keeps her place in the shadows of my dumpster

And remembers

                                    Looks fade.

 

And I’m not worried about it

She’ll see high schools almost over

And in a few years I check where her bad decisions take her

Verses Me.

Tori, I love anything you write it seems!! This is an example of that "to and fro" I think most of us experience, but I am biased. I am biased because when you write like this, it's not hard at all to want to back you up and see your side. It just happens, and happens accidentally!! : ) You are such a beautiful writer, that you could write about a murder and I would see the pretty and dangerous parts to such a story. I think if this chick got her teeth kicked in, it would be easier for her to smile and go down on her knees for every guy who walks her way and needs a place to put his "D**k"!! lol I love it....... xoxo -Mark

You make me smile Mark. =) Thank you for the lovely review on one of my angrier flavors of poetry.

You are welcome!! Have you seen the poem I wrote for you, lately? "Victory's Surrender" .....It's the only poem I won't comment on, just so others can see OTHER people's reactions to the poem without my distraction. In poem and picture, you are perfectly consuming and I LOVE it!! If you ever leave the site, it's going to hurt immensely to not be able to read you anymore, Tori "Kera"!! Beautiful..... xoxo -Mark
