Rock Star
Caught in the glamour and glitz
of passing headlights
standing within the rain
and watching cars pass
down the road
Flashing lights
a rock star life
high-speed
and quick paced
Always too cool
to ever be touched
with a devil may care
smile ready upon the lips
All the girls left to swoon
while you could not
give a care
Dreams like rain-wash
sliding down the gutter
across oily acid streaked
pavement
With the next passing car
damp cigarettes
resting at boot tips
soiled with the rest of it
A life wasted
in a blaze of color
that lived for one moment
and was put out within seconds
Hoping to score a ride
or something to bring back
the high
Looking at yourself
in blurry dirty
reflections.
