(So Let's Talk About) Her Show
A necklace of rope hangs from your neck
As your bruises bleed all lost hope
So let’s talk about your death
It was, in fact, unfortunate, but well deserved
What you did was no human right
As magic is not among humans
And yet you wished and you were granted death
So let’s talk about your end, shall we?
Dark eyes and dark hair has always been in and out
Yet you were as bright as a dove
A mark of beauty, which got you into trouble
Sit down, and let me tell you a tale
“A girl used magic and she was hanged; the end.”
So tragic and so predictable
“Lord Death,” you say, “I want to live, sir.”
And of course you do, you died after all!
That necklace of rope suits you well
Since now you are not beautiful anymore
In death, nobody is ever beautiful
But death is the most beautiful thing
My poor soul, how you screamed when the dark came
Beaten, dragged stabbed, and then hanged
What a show you put on
It’s such a pity it had to end at your end
