The Makeover-Shots

The Makeover- Shots

You take one shot
And I miss you
I know you're gone
But I still wanna kiss you

You've made yourself a monster
Both you and me you scar
Your eyes are dimly lit
But behind shines who you are

Who you used to be

The part that misses me

(Pre Edit: January 17, 2015)

One shot.
One decision.
Never to be seen again.

Late night kisses
And sweet nothings
Long gone
To yellowed eyes
And an emptied heart.

Your monster in the making
Slowly made its way
To the surface
And only in your dimly-lit
Blood-shot eyes
Is a near gone image
Of who used to lie behind
The addiction's pry.

The part that still loved
Me.

Viv Wigley March 11, 2015 at 1:25 AM Powerful write, Angelica. Edgy and raw. Welcome to Poetry Soup, where you'll get lots of encouragement, inspiration and warmth from a bunch of nice, sometimes quirky, people. Look forward to reading more from you. Mister Viv, with a score of #7 for your first submission. Well done x Brie Lovely March 15, 2015 at 5:34 PM Thank you Mr. Viv! Though I thankfully haven't experienced much trauma in my life, I enjoy authoring poems from the POV of people at their lowest points, speaking for those without a voice. Thank you for being my first reviewer, and doing so at one in the morning. And the quirkier the people are here, the better, for I am known to be quite the oddball...
