chloroform

 
smother my pink daisies  
with chloroform  
make them sleep  
 
so they no longer weep for the sun  
who fails to rise  
on delicate petals  
 
winter has raped them of their beauty  
let them be at peace within wilted glory  
 
pressed to my pages  
where all secrets are kept  
pink daisies  
represent deep regret  
 
pain for the woman i once was  
who ran wild with the night  
& charmed the stars  
down from the heavens  
 
now trapped inside my lacquer finish  
highly polished  
& poised  
a lady stuck in the day to day  
 
collared  
& leashed to the mundane  
my Master boredom  
he's a cunt buster  
i am his slave  
 
calling today to the dying afternoon  
witness this lady  
hair wreathed in nature's finest  
whose skin once looked like fresh cream  
& lips tasted of sun kissed berries  
 
now cigarette smoke halos her head  
her skin weathered  
lips pale from copd  
 
wait a moment  
before you dismiss her  
& look deep within sparkling eyes  
there her soul whispers  
 
"i'm still in here"  
 
no longer beautiful  
but very much alive
