Jaded Crystal

She went by the name of Crystal Faded but straight as a pistol Face showing the tick of the clock Many times she had circled the block Married twice but soon learned the rule: ‘Don’t tie yourself down to no fool’ Nose sniffing from snorting cocaine Her crazy blue eyes pierced the brain Distaining prim-prude social laws Unashamed she displayed her flaws Brutal truth often spit with a curse Busting big-shots with her horsehide purse Ex bartender, ex trucker, ex maid Eccentric and caustic. Unafraid... Smelling blood, she slashed like a shark Yet her smile could light up the dark *Loosely based on a lady I am proud to call a friend
