A Strawberry She'D Be

She's dimming inside dont you see
Go to her she's someone's family
She didnt know the danger that came her way
Others at the shak will just look away
She looked kinda sweet, maybe even new
Little dancing angel, curls shimmered like dew
She wondered about the man who had her sighted
You knew you had her, demon heart so delighted
She loved that first burning white wonder
Her house so clean, her babies deeply slumber 
She met the sly sighter just round the corner
Closing the door quietly as she just stepped away
She didnt notice the smoke billowing their way
Keeping the pain wrenching thoughts from returning to soon
She tells him yes to another cheap room
Hungry sighter pokes her skin
She feels a hot rush that forces a grin
When light comes her soul voids of glee
She feels a moment of clarity and drops fast to her knees
Bodys all over on fire with hope
She's done with white wonder, yes dope

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
