My Bruised Lips

By frileyma

What pretty girls
What pretty mouths
Come stand by me so
All the unpretty people
Can see how very pretty
You are

I talk so much
My lips are bruised
I talk to your empty head
Christ, what I could do
With a hammer

I lower my eyes
I laugh
You are all so damn pretty
When you're not listening.

    i drew subtleties describing the loneliness of separation from between the lines of vitriol... blame?... an excellent work that can read from a couple different contextual points of view.

  • A former member wrote: 0_0 wow..this was quite mocking..and the repeting of "pretty" really worked with the flow. nice job. "Christ, what I could do with a hammer"- that line made me giggle.
