Star anatomy Shimmering lip gel Vermilion redness of a setting sun Tembling, charred lips camouflaged Favoured tissues, smothering the lips Rejoicing every signature Bruised heart, jinxed fate mourning Lonesome soul, a few cigarette crushed Sunken eyes, purple scars Bed sheet scrambled, old scotch trampled Sleeping pills, diamond rings, Wet old pillow choked to tears Placid purse, flock of cards Stardom left Some overdose pills Some leftover sins
Another broken soul on a heavenly trip Life was a battle underneath the luster And you said “I was a star� Ronita Bhandari
