flashlight to your heart

lets set us back
a few more candelight vigils
to your virginity
so many show up mourning
that it wasn't theirs
that you were off the market

how can you feel
when pain's the only thing
that's real

how can you cruise
to church on fumes of cigarrettes
and booze

tell the telemarker
that you're marked like the devil
tell the ones who 'loved' 'you'
you took off the kettle

it steamed up your
windows like a red candle
in the window WHORE

how can you look
like you own the library
when you're just a book
read cover to cover
by a daily lover

    Hm, I don't know exactly why, but I think this is pretty well done...it's...decent...or maybe a little better...the only reason this would stay with me is because of the interesting subject...ah...well, nice job...the wording is nearly perfect...kind of.
