Substitute for something else

Reminisce what it was

One and many others alike could speak

Of such an affair


Situation transpire

If there wasn't right means to do the feat

Entwine lies and deceit



There was the substitute

Came to claim reattribute

One who could take it all way?




Foot of the bed

Mirror reflects

Showing the neglects

Smeared make up




Figure in the shadows

With a lighted cigarette wallows,

Smoke being swallowed, back in




In his satisfaction

He broke her he saw it in her reaction,

Glancing at her at through the reflection

His mission was accomplish




She believed all the words

No matter how absurd

Took her into a fantasy world




Convinced herself that he was the one

Sought after for many time before

Yet he broke her and open old sores




Draining hopes and dreams

Inside she screamed

How to find away to redeem




She stared still at upon her reflection,

Mind distortion

Features appeared out proportion




Nothing ever appealing

Her opinion of herself was most revealing




Fumbled through her purse

Action she had rehearsed




Many a times before popped the cap of the bottle

Pull out the pills

Down on the floor they spilled




Leaned over picked them up

Convinced herself she was fed up

In one fowl swoop swallowed them




Lean back close her eyes awaited from them to effect

Long tired of the neglect

Being the substitute




Tears tricked only side of her eyes

All that came from within

Flash before her eyes




Slow rhythmic beat faded into background noise

She laid there poised

Let out her last breath said "Substitute"
