she's my heroine

Still running, never ceasing, she screams silently.

the breath escapes as a wisp.

Remembering the past command:

Take the demon carefully,

his sting is heavily laden with sweet

addiction.

 

*** soaks through the front of her gown

and the bloodied fabrics drain rusty shades

into the tepid moon water

she spilled before.

 

Break her chains

she will not thank you

she will despise her freedom and lay waste to paradise

with her filthy torn wings.

 

Let her know of her once-natural beauty

she will hiss in derision

that she is not still stunning as the rose.

 

BLEED, child.

You of all creatures were fantastic in visage

You have put to waste the precious fragility of your frame

Your yellowing teeth speak volumes

your mouth should stay sealed.

 

We have no use for ingrate angels

that roll in the muck

cheaply selling ******* and chemical highs.
