Cocaine Kisses

The life of a rock star...inspired by Cherie Currie and Effy Stonem.

Is your eyeliner tragic enough yet?

Are your nails as black as your soul?

Highlight those hollow eyes,

And baby girl keep feeding me your lies.

You look so sexy with that poison on your lips,

That powder on your tongue,

Bathing in the ashes from your hair.

What's this now?

Has your Crystal poured ink on your wings?

Did the pills pile up 'til you were forsaken on the stairs?

And now your mascara is staining my carpet.

This sorrow suits you well my dear.

But there's no glitter in the vomit now is there?

There's no romance on the bathroom floor.

Show me the glamour on this bloody skirt!

This is the life you've been waiting for?

"Highlight those hollow eyes"
Hm... I really like that line...

Continuing:
"Did the pills pile up 'til you were forsaken on the stairs?
And how your mascara is staining my carpet.
This sorrow suits you well my dear."
Nicee.

Continuing on:
"*This* is the life you've been waiting for?"

PERFECT! a poem I -really- enjoyed! BRAVO! =D

Interesting poem. Great points made here.
"Has your Crystal poured ink on your wings?"- I have no idea what this line means. The rest of the poem was very clear, so it threw me off quite a bit.
The poem was really strong and really well written. I enjoyed reading it completely!

on a side note: not all those who see romance in drug use are dark types with eyeliner or black nails. Lots of different sorts think they see beauty and glamor in these things

I fall in constant love all seven times I've read this.
Theres nothing about it that I am not enchanted by.
Really amazing word choice, and overall writing.

Brilliant piece, thoroughly enjoyed this. I loved the idea of 'no glitter in the vomit' and 'no romance on the bathroom floor'. It slaps people in the face and tells them how unglamourous drug addiction actually is. Thanks for sharing.

The high life, drugs with style.

I absolutely love this, mostly because I'm obsessed with destruction with drugs.
But, I do believe that that some of the words should be rearranged, changed, moved or otherwise morphed into something more rhythmical.
Keep Writing

Dear Alisa,

Your poem should be in high school English books. Excellent. Powerful imagery. I felt every line.

Thank you for sharing.

Woahh. Epic much!? I loved the title of this poem, and thought that the concept behind it was really captivating and fresh. The imagery and wording in your poems are always highlights for me, and this was no exception. The last four lines were so hard-hitting, and really captured the essence of this piece. Great work,
