Temporary Pain Killer..

by ABake   Nov 17, 2007


She is all dressed up and only one place to go;
Remembering when life was simple, that was ages ago,
Kisses [momentarily] erase her pain, not for too long...
Embraces allow her to forget; no sense of right or wrong

It's a new man tonight; and [temporary] love is a must;
Diving head first into this world; confusing love for lust..
No where to go but straight into his arms tonight,
Shes knows it is wrong but at this moment it feels right.

Promises tomorrow is a new day; still filled with regret,
She is reckless, calming her nerves with a cigarette.
She faces another lonely day; searching for lasting love,
Sadly, it [all] falls down when push comes to shove...

She puts on [more] Maybeline and tells him a little lie;
He gives her the "love" she's craving; she wants to cry.
While he's sleeping she silently prepares for another day
This horrible life is not one she had hoped to convey...

Again, his kisses melt away her pain; erases her past,
It's only {temporary} nothing in her life ever lasts;
Another man's embrace will never replace his..
Truth be told, he is the reason her life is the way it is.

[Hmm. Lol. Hope you enjoy]

    Oy.
    This was magnificent. I'd say it's definately one of your best. :) It was beautifully written but the story behind it was heartbreaking. The emotions were strong and the flow was flawless. Everything was perfect. And I loved how you put certain words in brackets -- It really put the 'Hmph' in those words. Haha.
