A Calculated Mess

Thomas W Case



She had that
doggy style lust,
bent and broke;
taking life hard
and fast from behind.
She had the eyes of
a serial killer,
with a splash of
rainy afternoon sadness.
I met her at the
homeless shelter, and her
soul was a
vagabond with a vengeance.
Her heart was an abyss.
Life had fucked her up
beyond repair.
No way was love gonna'
fix that train wreck,
that calculated mess.
In the end,
the best I
could do
was not
slip away with her.

    Great descriptiveness that left a picture imprinted in my mind. I have seen this kind and you were right the best was to not slip away with her.
