But she lacked love for self and her maroon melody

She asked the trumpet so...

I’ve tried placing it by my stereo;

"Gutter Hearts"



He’s got a gutter Heart
bleeds words that birth
diamonds sharp on his tongue

They hit her like 
bullets from an Uzi gun
Silent, her heart implodes like molten marshmallow

A brilliant flash of lightening lit up a dark graveyard

An exciting, self confident walk
Auburn hair and...
