Aim For The Stars
I wrote this poem a while back for a scholarship I was awarded in 2023 I just wanted to share it with everyone...the person I wrote about in this poem died that same year.
Diamond tear drops,
Glisten in the moonlight,
Smearing her mascaraed green eyes,
Dusted in black and blues,
Baby did I make you mad?
No air escapes her merlot stained bloody cracked lips,
Rose petals,
Bleed out a fine blue lifeline,
A master piece of a shot,
Baby what have you done?
She lays cold and grey on the kitchen floor,
Floating away,
Baby will you miss me?
She’s aiming for the stars,
Never to look back.
