An adulterated truth resonates with her
This girl drowning in sweet demure
Unseen before this uncloaked innocence
A doppelganger conjured in her absence
Who do you see yourself today?
A tainted old shrew in foul decay?
Are you a cunt, a tease, a whore?
This forsaken temptress washed ashore.
Who do you pretend to be tomorrow?
A deserted damsel drowning in sorrow?
Is your soul seeking sanctuary in God’s embrace?
A mirrored allure condemned without a face?
Who do you run from your wretched past?
Ghosts shackled and fettered in shadows they cast ?
Are you an ally in my poker game?
Or a rival just looking for someone to blame?
A striking resemblance to the girl I once knew
Simple and unsung her song was true
Now stranded on the Independence highway
Identity uncertain, mystified and in fray
Who do you wish to astound and unfoil?
Misplaced conformity in a cohort of turmoil?
Are you a cynic, a critic, a crackhead?
Are you this girl claiming impurities in bed?
Who do you aspire to be today?
Neruda's disciple adrift and astray?
Are you a rat in the race, a poser in disguise?
Are you this girl screaming her unheard cries?
Who do you see looking back at you?
A sham, a faker, a mockery of two?
Nothing but red rose lipstick tainted and smeared
A girl trapped in a life she once feared.
