Whiskey Lullaby [Broken].

-Whiskey Lullaby [Broken.]-

Lines decorated the sides of her sky blue eyes
In the reflection of her old shattered mirror
A face staring back; talking of memories and goodbyes
And running down her rosy cheek was a silent tear.

A gold band hugged her finger; she wallowed in your lies
Blond hair draped around her trembling face
A raven corset muffled her rusted hearts lonely cries
Masquerading her deceptions in linen and lace.

A shattered picture frame lay in the middle of the floor
Beneath the bed you tainted with disgrace
A silhouette watching from behind the door - -
The shadows of another women taking her place.

Holding your picture tight she drowns in a whiskey lullaby
Singing her to sleep - - the angels scream in dismay
Taking the ring off as a strangers hand grazes her thigh
And late that evening, two broken hearts died in decay.

--Meaning being that her husband was cheating on her and she was cheating on him. Everynight, she would get drunk at the bar and cheat with a new person, and it broke her down more each time. It is a true story about someone I know so any votes or comments would really be appreciated.--
