You're stunning when you're
dead, sparkles from the
gun dot your bellybutton
and the chandelier.
Glitzy, I suppose, a true
fashion statement; I
thought you didn't speak
in jewels and shoes and
belts.
Doll, your silence becomes you,
a perfect rotting mannequin.
And so I'll dance against the
fine glass like it wasn't made for,
similar to the idea that your body
can't handle a bullet.
Pull on silk gloves so the
fingerprints don't show up
on your loins -
but I still swear your
pretty ass can take it.

I'm listening to Lady Gaga's 'Poker Face'. It's such a stupid song. I love it.

loove those lines and the first stanza! and i really like the line breaks as well.
this is awesome. -
There were parts of this, (first stanza) that were really interesting and somewhat awkward, which is a good thing. I found the ending a little off-putting, I don't feel that it went in sync with the rest of it.
The ending line however made me giggle.
J'adore Lady Gaga,
Fooled me again, (honest eyes) is a fantastic song, I cant wait for it to be released.
Thank you for sharing this with me,
Kind regards
Sophie.
