She walked into the church Cradling the dead In her arms. It was eerily quiet As she sang a lullaby, Her porcelain skin Was smeared with ashes. Her voice sounded like a battlecry Standing in a red gown Facing the crowd. As she lifted her veil You could see, That she was a goddess Who was sober And still intoxicating Her beauty was lethal Her sharp tongue Could pierce your soul Her lips were ****** And her eyes were numb She held a scythe in one hand And in the other She carried a newborn She was death in disguise Resembling a flower With hollow eyes.
