Under your skin

By Kiah

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Another dead starlet one more fallen harlot and I wonder where it all got started Was it when the skies parted and man was put down & thwarted by his own hand? man, watch for the slight of hand planned this to go down like you never fantasized with all your lies Eyes that despise can see the demise like flies eating pies the cancer is slow and nearly unseen But still the whole time this is where its been right under your skin.
