or "shine"

tattoos or oiled bodies or sucking the air out of the room.
pulled down billboards or
the way notes drop at the end of the song or cop cars that light up your face with neons.
you think i’m a cliche and i know you're right. 
lost pop star drowning herself in moonlight; late-night shows or tulle dragging behind motorcycles. phone flashlights are brighter than the stars sometimes.
silver cross pendant hanging in the hollows of my throat and-
wouldn’t you like to feed it to me after a night of tequila? messy night air or
arms spread into the big city skyline. pearls are too classy for small-town girl or
can’t we play pretend?
or things stay the same if you dream hard enough. shine
