Porcelain skin, eyes open-set

Lips quivering, tears falling from their ducts

Thoughts clear as night, heart twisting tight.

She was sitting, knees held to chest, upon her own wooden floor

Creaking ever so slightly with her movements

No evidence of a distant smile

To far deep into the waves of denial,

Suffocated by the river streaming scarlet

Deafening screams she cries to the images; to forget

Sinister spirits hang over her

Never failing to leave

They hold onto her soul, like a death wrenching leech

Stealing her sanity, leaving it drained

Though one drop remains, though still causing pain

Porcelain skin, eyes open-set

She waited patiently outside the bar

Beer lingering in the crisp air

A noise awakened her eyes, and she saw

A body torn to pieces, a smile craved on, and blood streaming out

Like a scarlet river
