Bad Girl
I’m just a bad girl
glock cocked, finger on trigger
a smoking pistol
Cold barrel–my kiss
Smoke wafts, spent shell cases roll
Lipstick on my gun
Chalk outlines my ex
Bullet hole in his forehead
Ruby beads I lick
Heels click, fishnets rip
Bustier strains to hold me
My come hither stare
Knife flicks, cuts him down
Bite sized snack, then throw him back
Nail file sharpens fangs
My thousand yard stare
Ignites all who stop and stare
No money, no show
To ashes you fall
Make my war paint, I smear you
βneath my smoke-filled eyes
Leap off skyscraper
Wings extrude tearing my clothes
Snap as they unfurl
My wings scissor night
To ribbons of city light
I own all in sight

Not really. I just enjoy reading about bad girls and bad boys. I was an obedient little girl. Got rebellious much later, and even in that, the rebellion was tame, less bad than breaking away from tradition.

I think you should write more in this trend. There is something very strong here that you need to keep working on expressing. I have a pyjama I wear often which says Good girls go to heaven Bad girls go everywhere π

Ultimately we are to attain balance so neither always good girl nor always bad girl is the way forward π Keep indulging and sharing your thoughts and wonderful writing. We are meant to explore our light as our darkness and finally understand that light and darkness are intertwined and one means nothing much without the other

Thank you! shoot me the link please! I am about to fall asleep and I don’t want to forget tomorrow. I usually sneak reads at work and I miss posts sometimes because I have to X out of WP when my boss swings past. when i reopen the reader again, I have lost my place. So if you would be so kind as to just paste the link in your reply to this comment that would be a big help! Sometimes fridays are chaotic at work.
