Pink Ribbons
May 17, 2012
bright red smile
on pale peach cream
pink ribbons
wrapped around
thin fragile things
white satin underneath
splotches to red
fades to brown
rust and life
staining the world
life freely flows
out from the smile
lipless and pained
life pouring out
ruining perfection
leaving only pink ribbons behind
