She laughs in broken sobs,
Shivering in pain that she tries to hide,
Laughing away all that is there,
Ending it all with a humor filled cry;
She sits in the shadows,
Humming a song that foretells her end,
Smoke lingering around her,
As she commits her final sin;
Cigarette smoke and a taste of poison,
Is all she knows, or chooses to know,
And the blade pierces her skin,
As she sells her battered soul.
* This is one installment of many in a continuous poem I've worked on since I was 14, called "The Girl." No idea what part this is, but hey, I found it.
