The glitter-filled eyes of
s-s-s-starstruck Hollywood starlets
gaze at the technicolor
[[ smoke rings. ]]
The cut-out girrrls
"with lips that cutt and
eyes that burn liiike
cigarettes" and
a kiss like poissson..
The poison of a
{ nameless liar. }
They sparkle amongst
the dirty, flirty
[[ h-h-hypocrisy ]]
and the neon blue
diamonds that glisten
in the sun and cast
could-filled rainbows.
Whore and slut are
tossed around with
recklessness and
lack of fragility.
They bleed to be
the thinnest,
the prettiest,
the best, to be
........IT........
Fake is the new black
and everybody
seems to be
[[ in style. ]]
