She struck beauty with awe
A shimmer and glitter eyes
Yet so thick with leveled suffering
When his voice pulled her smile down

She chewed his poison pills
Wrapped in obscure words
Until her reflex took no interest
In avoiding toxic gags

Choking heavy on addiction
He let her fend alone
Until there was just enough convenience
Or maybe just convenient enough

So that through hazy vision
She watched his eyes fall back
And she lined up next months rent
Riding the white horse hard
