Only shooting stars in her eyes
A flicker of heat on her hips
Quick glances and tainted lips.
Dull shades of peach
and pretty potential.
Broken wings
and existential
dreams
she built
and could not reach
wilt
Loveless
Virgin
Bleached.

Eek. This just came out? The prompt "Hackneyed Halo Tragedies" made me think of a fallen angel, which made me think of a loss of innocence, which made me think of a loss of virginity, which made me think of a slut, excuse my language..prostitution. xD I hope the message is clear at least after my nearly needless ranting. ~WithLove, Jo
