The Perfect Trap
Sever all ties
Starting anew
No longer me,
But a new you
Molded to perfection
Stretched to snap
Skin pulled tight
Over a perfect trap
Made to be the golden one
The perfect little trinket
Set atop a pedestal
Shown in all glory
Pruned from birth
All bad seeds removed
Prevented by protection
Until one forgotten bloom
A tiny rainbow seed
Contrast to black and white
Perfection marred
By one unpreventable bloom
No longer atop
A pedestal of glory
Rather sent
To a dungeon so gory
Misery heaped
Upon a body so frail
Only so much weight
Until one fails
Snapping morals
Emotions buried deep
Taught skin retracting
Free of your perfect trap
Havoc wreaked upon everyone
Sleep shall not come
Till I am done
Tearing a perfect picture apart.
