Picture Me In Lace

Opaque skies reflect anguish in her eyes,
shadowed by iced wing's last touch.
It is jagged vulnerability that illuminates across her skin,
Graceful lines now a distorted, hollow shell.

Lewd acts line her addiction,
endless catatonic simulations of desire,
it fuels the fire.

One disease for another.

It is alone, in her hallucinated satisfaction,
that she finally recognizes the silence.
An obscure force that amplifies
the abrupt pace of her heart.

Severed sobs escape her cracked lips;
they wallow in the condensation
that streaks down to greet them.

A vile need has engulfed her existence,
only to leave her feeling empty.

Incoherent babble quickly becoming
demented wails as she tries to remember
who she once was.

In shaken surrender,
she powders her nose once more.

Admitting defeat
to life's final blow.

Depicted the impact of addiction on a girl who was beautiful and lively.
I can imagine her through your vivid description and wonderful imagery.
The whole piece is a gem.
I don't like to break it to isolate the most favorite lines.
Would it be a lesson for those who indulge in addiction!
