Photograph

Pulling me into your universe
Holding me hostage there
Only surviving as caged bird
Teal feathers float in despair 
Onyx smile still haunts now
Grateful for future green days
Raping my heart the silver sound
A little cliche amethyst masquerade 
Painting purple powerful poses
Hostage of your drug overdoses
