a glance from her, the whole city goes down

cracked rubies and dirt incased in diamonds.
perfect imperfection.
echo games in glass houses - the mirrors warp faces and names into people we pretend to know.
"simon says, do something incredible today"
heroes don't die. at least not on the front page of the new york times.
page three girls making fame infamous.
government dogs and ally cats.
fighting blind men with pictures of sunlight in prisms.
so hard, so hard to smile.
morning-after eyeliner and mascara tears.
rivers marking histories of seventeen years.
i learnt about life in text books - black and white.
seeing crimson in bathtubs. writing lines in skin and minds.
she forgot to breathe, that'll teach her to die for the attention.
suicide chic.
