She could have been beautiful She could have been tough She could have been so many things There was titanium where her bones should have been and liquid steel coursing through her veins there was a wildfire in her eyes But she's been torn someone ripped her wide open and everyone could see inside While she was sitting there with a gaping chest something was taken from deep within something precious was stolen by the quickest thief Her body was a temple it was the sacking of Troy the magnificence of her soul is gone What was stolen was broken the pieces of it falling to the darkest corners of the universe leaving nothing left for her to have Now the emptiness occupies her body she doesn't understand how can something so hollow completely fill her up She is walking irony a living oxymoron because somehow she was too much and not enough at the same time and now she has bones of ice and blood of water you snuffed the wildfire like it was a candle flame
