One more reason to give up on God
and the Marilyn Monroe tattoo upon her thigh
would peel from her skin…laughing
Begging for mercy
horror’caust and what price desire
when her purse is empty?
So far, so fast, so fierce
singing ‘auf wiedersehen’
to the last of the international Berlin brothels
Him and her forever
like diamonds, forever,
but the hand which rocked
her cradle is still bruised
and this is why…
The man of her dreams
is sad and all alone
but her final reason is
the line of coke on dusty bookshelf
The man of her dreams is sad and alone because of his drug addiction. Choices one makes…right.
Dear R,
This for me, makes me think of all the relationships that want desperately to succeed but are doomed from the start. Especially the ones fueled by addiction. The edgy gritty feel throughout this write is relatable for anyone trapped inside this carousel nightmare. I like the dark fast pace of this write. H 🌷
Powerfully penned, Ghosteen. Another excellent write with amazing storytelling my friend. Nicely done. Appreciate you.
