You speak glitter words, even though you don’t believe them
and cover up your heartbreak with eyeliner-
you’re smutty in this beautiful kind of way and the stars just drop at you feet.

You walk the streets with a tiger strut and kick the filth
off your shoes like a prima donna, but when you’re alone
no one sees you trip over yourself; no one sees you stumble.

You hike up your skirts to show off a little more leg and bring in the boys
with neon painted lips, radiating something feminine and lethal, yet
who would know that every kiss you hand out goes away with another part
of your soul.

You’re what everyone wants and nobody wants to be,
some kind of fallen Aphrodite dying slowly with a smile plastered on her face.
Wanting to be priceless but settling for worthless and you’re
just.
like.
me.

WONDERFUL...! she "Wanting to be priceless" and according to me she remains priceless, because every kiss she hand out goes away with another part
of her soul. which shall alway remain priceless no matter what men call it: It is indeed priceless.
Really a touching piece of work.
