Stiletto Dreams and Silent Tears

An acrostic tale of survival

By Kenneth cruzPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Stilettos and red lip gloss

In search of a dollar and a bite

Lost to the night

Each day her body pays her way

Now a zombie in disguise

Can’t look her in the eye

Escape or meet your demise
