Jaded Princess

Las Vegas hard those hollow eyes
a predatory eagles glare
Too knowing are the shattered dreams
and whiskey fumes reflected there

Days of disappointment
waiting for the call
Wasted nights
Drug delights
Men who knew it all

Expensive were the promises
trading dignity
Once were stated facts
now gathered on her knees

That nearly perfect face
where nearly doesn't pat
Of innocent young girl
no final trace remains

Jaded princess
seen it all
Make-up getting thicker
Does anything for money
drowning it with liquor

In limbo
sadly waiting
Dreams a nightmare now
Late at night
All alone
silent tears will flow
..
