Slippery glass staring at me
My arms flung out as still as the snow
Gold cascades down my shoulders, you see
I reached out but I tripped on my toes
Little red rivets flowing as satin
Soft on my lotus pink cheeks
Cracks break spiderweb words, greek or latin
And water so hot through the ice begins to leak
Blue glazes my dull hazel eyes
Broken leg or broken wrist crushed under my bones
You'd come running, but for the opening skies
Under my head the fish start to moan
And all I want is to be taken home

The mirror me frowns
My fingers carve shavings out
The pristine pearl skates on my feet drag me down
I whimper but my voice makes no sound
The water envelopes and my scratchy winter coat,
I just wanted someone to take it off
No longer can move nor think of your name
You turned around a moment too late
The pain searing, singing into my marrow
Leading me to this harrowing fate
