The Sleeze

[Jzara]

I fall into the sleeze,
ever stumbling to be free,
like an addict on a corner;
looking for a fix,
for a cease to the pain,
to rest in peace.

I am tethered to false kings,
just a dog on a lead;
I lap up eviscerated offerings.
A kind hand,
for a bent knee.
I am ever so sweetly cheap,
like a cigarette butt;
cast onto hooker wreathed streets.

A black sky bends forever,
I'm a starry eyed stare.
With head nestled in a gutter,
the world looks nice from down here.


I am feeling this. Its one of those topics where if you get it you get it, if you don't you don't.
I particularly like:
'A black sky bends forever,
I'm a starry eyed star'

If i had to criticise any element it is only that the similes and metaphors needn't be so blatant.  If you had left out the pre-fix 'like' before
'an addict on a corner;
looking for a fix,'
it definitley would have still made sense. Not even a critisicm really, it works perfectly just how it is.
Really enjoyed it
