There she lies in her silver metal coffin
Still coated in her toxic beauty
Calling us into her sapphire eyes
Making us fall deep into her darkness
Her lips ruby red and cracked like porcelain
Her skin as pale and as grey as concrete
The stars above her body in the midnight sky
Shimmer like embers scattered in time
The frozen snowflakes that surround her grave
Glitter like shattered crystal in the whiteness
Imitation pearls strung onto thread lay upon her neck
Giving the impression that she was sweet
That she did not wish for death to come
But all the people that did not know this girl
Sadly misunderstood the reason for her eternal sleep
It’s because she feared the waking of every day
Because her life was simply torture
Her prayers were never answered when she asked
For her heart to stop it’s bleeding
And her life to once again be able to make her smile
So she took the matter into her own hands
And silenced her pain with a sliver of glass upon her wrists
No more would the smiles on her lips be plastic
No more would her heart be as hard as stone
She did not care whether it was damnation that awaited her
Or an embrace to carry her above into heavenly light
She was ready for the end of her life
She was ready to sleep and never again awake
There she lies in her silver metal coffin
Still coated in her bright charisma
Calling us into her past memories
Making us fall deep into her warmth
