Facing the pain of deceit

————

Bathroom confessions

backdoor redemption

Black moon promise

made to a leather winged Angel

Afterglow addict disciple of dawn

woman standing at the edge of love

listening for the silence in between the words

whispered by an ambidextrous tongue.

Loiterer in dim luminescence

under bloodshot skies.

beautiful visions reminding her of horrible things

knowing the best part of truth are the lies

casualty of kindness twilight apostle

feeling what is not her favorite color

the song of flawed perfection

its taste bitter on her lips

The melody fading along with the last smile of summer
