Stockholm Syndrome

by moon face   Nov 14, 2014


Heroin powdered cheeks
tar smeared mascara
bloodshot lip gloss

I swallowed a bullet
for each of your ex-lovers
one too many

but my demons
could only dance
to the rhythm
of your song

so I crept my way
into your mouth
for one last kiss
only to be spat out
like one other abortion

    Wow! Thought provoking, moving piece. Each line has its own way of hitting, and that pattern escalates until the last line! Fantastic.

    Your last line is a hot spot, but I feel like it is a bit lost. perhaps "like one more abortion" or "like one of your abortions"

    otherwise wouldn't change a thing! Thanks for sharing, added to favorites.
