Angela, slip me a smile once in a while, eh?
by Jolie JordanHey Angela,
Your teeth are showing.
Your spit drips down your cheeks like a leaky faucet.
You slip me those demon eyes, flashing emerald and ivory behind coal-colored
glasses as you stare me down with "I can't save you now's".
I'm not a fish out of water, those are not my guts spilling out of a pale pink stomach.
My feet are planted on the dirty streets of Los Angeles,
and I'm here, with thick lungs, hand-in-hand with the devil himself.
Angela,
Drama follows you around like a rabid dog.
And if I want to be bit, I'll let you know.
