You can barely can see her face behind the layers of her make up / drizzling black tears ..... her mascaras caked up / reflecting off an unclean mirror she cracks a faint smile / to cover up the shame and denial / skin bruised by the men that pay crumbs and let her swallow down scum / she wallows round avenues of battered town slums / blood stains her heels red and trickles down her leg / from spreading both her limbs wide 6 minutes for bread / for 6 minutes she's dead / and regrets swim in her head / sedated with no guilt / fixated to meds / ....LOST.....staring off into space...the lights flicker / as the night whispers '" 6 more hours and 9 pick ups "".. SCARLET..written by GENO..
