​​​​Crimson flowers bloom against her skin

Retracing pale scars, their aging brethren.

Broken glass and shattered bones

Her fragile soul is all alone.

 

Pain is the delicacy she won’t forsake;

The only emotion that isn’t fake

A tepid heart flutters weakly in her chest

Hiding in a corner; all feelings repressed

 

With a life so far gone

She carries on

 

Crushed wings wrap around a falling body

Twisting and turning, trying to fly, beautiful angels, wicked oddities

She falls and falls and hits the ground

Her scars reopening at the sound

 

Her life is lost

Could it ever be found?

 

No, the hope is crushed to debris

Her emotions can never be free

A heart is nothing but dead-weight

Poisoned, vacant, unable to communicate

 

You cannot save her

This girl who dreams of night

Chain her down, hold her tight

She’ll find another way to rid herself of life

 

Goodbye, goodbye

Pray your prayers aren’t heard

Nothing lies behind the sky

He cannot hear your words

 

Goodnight, goodnight

Soon you’ll see the fire’s light

Soon you’ll see the darkest night

In the morning she’ll be gone

 

So long, so long

In the morning she’ll be gone.
