Come Undone

* A piece of original writing from 2007, inspired by Duran Duran's "Come Undone" *

Lipstick is smudged on the mirror, with the stench of an overdose of perfume in the air. Mascara bottles have exploded, leaking its black blood onto the carpet. A pearl necklace, once neatly strung together, is now broken with its contents scattered across the room. Foundation and other makeup has become old and crusted in their containers.

A room, once filled with life. . .
A room, once filled with a young spirit who had dreams. . .
Is not practically haunted and dead.

The only living thing is the radio, releasing its sorrowful tune:


"Who do you need?
Who do you love?
When you Come Undone?"


* Lyrics by Duran Duran
