By the Lipstick {Attempted Parquette}

by xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex   Nov 16, 2006


Sitting on a table filled with many things
A doll to the side, a comb and lipstick,
Looking into mirrors sitting in front of her,
Her smile is a smile that simply sings.

Sitting on a table filled with many things
A proding clock sets by and silently ticks
She's proud of her most prized possession she is sure.
This little child full of smiles is deathly sick.

Sitting on a table filled with many things
Is her pride and dignity by the lipstick
Holding in to her head, the hairbrush, eyes a blur,
Lukemia has taken over her.

    Wow, I head to read it a couple times to understand it. There seemed to be so many intricate details happening. The one thing I can suggest is to add little clues about lukemia within the poem. Keep it up
