Pearls from strings pierce your mirror mask
Worn so delicately by those who show no pain
Embers glowing under those pale feet
Like the suffocating ivy crawling on stones
Doves pass through that velvety pain
Giving one faith as fragile as crystal plates
You bleed to live.
Though it is your lies that fuel the flame...
that hate....
you have for yourself.
