Shimmering lip gel
Vermilion redness of a setting sun
Trembling, charred lips camouflaged
Favoured tissues, smothering the lips
Rejoicing every signature
Bruised heart, jinxed fate mourning
Lonesome soul, a few cigarette crushed
Sunken eyes, purple scars
Bed sheet scrambled, old scotch trampled
Sleeping pills,
diamond rings,Wet old pillow choked to tears
Placid purse, flock of cards
Stardom left
Some overdose pills
Some leftover sins
Another broken soul on a heavenly trip
Another broken soul on a heavenly trip
Life was a battle underneath the lustre
And you said “I was a star”
