City lights twinkle
Dreamlike hues colour the skies
Eyes for others to find
Empty, empty minds
Vows lost in cigarette smoke,
Paper confetti falls to the ground
Sullen
Puddles of the undone
Hollow white skulls
Chattering
Tears and vodka
Stuck in unsuspected trances
Ravaged by unforgiving faiths
Two faces and forked tongues
Undressed by unfamiliar stares
Choking with disease
Crayon smiles
Dreams smouldering in the fire of hope
Waves of scathing heat, scathing hurt
Ever playing tunes of damnation

A circle of hellfire
Strait jackets of confusion
Cursed blades of the shadows
Merciless shouting
Incessant crying
Subliminal insanity
Hysterical whispering
Pariahs on every street
Gazing
Attempting to decipher the maze
Bitter sweet
Coarse bleached hair
Golden flecks decimate
Ghosts of smiles long gone
Shadows turned to dust
Whirlwind movement
A ticket and a buck
Smokescreen
Fading in and out
Fog and smog all the same
Struggling for fifteen minutes of fame
Struggling for a meal
Struggling not to feel
