Almost Unbeautiful (Krishna Ahir)

Drying unshed tears falling from graceless eyes

She is dancing in her sorrow

And singing through her pain

Feet treading on shards of dying dreams

Her voice is rasping noise lost in chaotic air

She will push herself onto the silver streets

Seducing all and any is who she is now

Daylight dreams crushed into the starlight sky

Where lips touch soft skin unwanted

Rising emotionless into her disgrace, disguise

Clothing herself in the red dress

So tauntingly walking to her corner of the world

Captured by lust and drenched in shallow kisses

Pulling at the sheets, gasping in the cold air

She pockets dirty cash and walks away

Tainted again from the nightly motels where she

Hides from the world in the most naked way

Heels tapping into taxi cabs, running to the dead streets

Lifeless as the sunshine strokes her cheeks

Almost forgetting her heart so broken

Almost unbeautiful
