Hollywood Barbie. [Acrostic]

Hollywood Barbie.

H earts beating with a silver light beaming down
O n her. Draped in pearls and a silver gown
L aced with deceit from all the things she's done in love.
L ullabies whispered in her ear under the midnight sun of
Y esterday's mistakes. Her legs are going
W eak and there's nowhere else to run. Her heart's showing
O ver her sleeve. With a dagger in her back she falls -
O wing it all to you. A Silhouette on the moon-cast walls
D ances in angst. Her teenage ways had got the best of you.

B aby, you are a heartbreaker set in your ways,
A nd I am sick of having a part in this play.
R eality is setting in and I am plastic to all I knew
B efore. My blackened red heart is draped in blue
I ce and my breath smells of liquor. So for the last time
E verything is not alright in my mind.
