Cabaret dancer

Cabaret dancer

A Poem by Laura Sparkle

You walk into the room with your big smile, looking smug.

Silly plastic doll… your skirt it cut up to your thigh,

Hanging by a safety pin,

And that blouse is see through.

Your words are just like feathers blown in a tornado

They have no chance to stand alone

No chance to have more meaning.

You’re just a meaningless writer and I have you pinned down,

My knee high on the floor between your legs,

My lips pressed tightly against your ear.

You like the attention I give you don’t you?

Take all you can and give nothing in return?

Watching me go down slowly

In a ruthless path of self destruction

Until I realize you’re not good for me,

You’re worse than the most potent poison

And then things get worse.

Doesn’t it suck when all you do is beg for more,

When you want all they can give and they ignore?

And the tantrum begins, but it’s all too late baby

We can all see through your fake writing,

Through the ‘real’ experiences… yeah, right.

Sorry baby, but you’re nothing more than a cabaret dancer

Meaningless motions of your perfectly sculpted body…

Sorry love, your writing is nothing.

 

Told you, princess, the glass box will break soon,

Should have backed off before.

Ok, dont think I wrote this to insult anyone, I dont wish for that. Just a lot of untold anger. :) Productively taken out. :) So be proud, be kind, be glad. PURE FICTION!

The ideas you have on this person, or type of person ,that you describe are great, especially this one: ,, Your words are just like feathers blown in a tornado,,, but if you ask me you shouldn't have made it subjective.
,,Take all you can and give nothing in return?
Watching me go down slowly
In a ruthless path of self destruction
Until I realize you're not good for me, ,,
This part denotes a hurt, and that is usually the root of all kind of hostility, and so it gives her credit... All the negative things you present about her could be interpreted as an exaggeration considering the wounded heart of the protagonist, and so its quality decreases.

I hope nothing that I say deranges you in any way :P.

We all know those show case barbie types, one word could bring their entire world to dust. Or as you said so beautifully "the glass box will break soon". To watch that happen can be fun and sad at the same time.
This piece is brillant, well done Laura. May many more come forth

Hey Laura you really put it out there... I have know and still do know people like this, with such low self esteems they need to use their sexuality for motivation and self esteem. powerful and raw work... love it.
