Heartsease

Lexicon

By Brandy BreannePublished 8 years ago • 1 min read

Her matted hair made up of cigarette butts and ash

Liquor drips from her skin

Alcoholic sweat beads cling to the crusted cloth that once hugged her curves

Her hands grope for more sustenance of the most futile hopes that it will bring peace

There is no peace

No glimmering ray of hope

No rainbows emitting from roses on these patches of deprived flesh

Love is a unicorn

Only dwelling in the hearts and mind of those who let it

sad poetry
