Rosebud Cheeks, Red Lips, & Bloodshot Eyes

Pale, with canvas like skin and

painted rosebud cheeks,

accompanying a pair of distant,

yet curious blue eyes.

 

Patches of gold, sweepy hair crowning

her head as her red lips parted in need.

Bloodshot eyes with an empty stomach

coupled to cause affliction.

 

Her mind sending signals throughout

her tiny body to find a way to

quench her desperate need for the bottle.

 

With restless nights and early morning

wake up, dressed in her light blue

pajamas, she cried out into the void of

her room in need of some sustenance.

 

Finally being picked up by the nurturing

arms of her mother, did she cease her

wailing, calmed by the delicate pats of

a large hand to her back.
