black rosethe heart cracks beneath her chest as tears swim in her eyes at the very thought of himblack rose
recounting her woes and griefs wrists begin to bleed
and the smoke curls between her fingers another lung contaminated and the nicotine yellows enamel
legs throbbing she runs runs away from him from them and from the fears and the monsters
stopping, failing breathing, crying begging dying
arms crossed atop the death bed she suffocates as they sing her lullaby swan song
