The pallid expression on her absent face Her fair skin has lost it's marble touch She is prudent and prurient as her gaze There is a youthful grace that I cannot judge Must I comprehend, this alabaster? Should I presume, the sculptor made an erroneous smudge? In a park of tracks and pulverized people Their faces clutch at her words As they are left only with the epithets and hardly any details My landlord pleads for rent as I reach upstairs He wonders and wants to know more Should I reply with mumbles? It is a festering wound at my heart's core That coagulates at my throat as I fumble For there is no answer There is no question It is just to do or die without her All of it can coalesce If I give in to my fiery adolescence
