Cigarette ash falls upon her face,
beautiful ebony skin.
Everything mommy said you could never have.
Desperation so raw it hurts,
Rip out her insides,
so that they are no longer your responsibility.
Kiss your wife goodnight.
pray to the prince of peace,
and pretend you dont see her tears.
Plastic roses are choking,
dirty secrets transparent.
You blame it on your parents ,
and turn the other way.
