angel

by bri - Sagittarius

beauty is in the claws of a cold-hearted lover
blanketing to breath, strengthening to smother
reaching out a thorn to push through the skin
reaching out her fingertips
to feel for a way
to do it again

sin is the last picture of someone who's dead
burnt in the trash bin it was 
something they'd said
or some rose they let die
that tore her soft skin
the lips of a long cold kiss
and a violent grin

Reason for writing:

    None given
