You can't put a price on a chastening, but you'll still pay a premium.

She is an unknown

and she knows,

It's just how she lives life

getting by,

no-one sees beyond glass eyes

and saccharine smiles

 

I am a gorge full of words

and words spill,

like gallons of oil

filling vast areas

till she drowns in the hysteria

of this week's epiphany

 

She can't remain silent

and silence breaks

those beautiful glass eyes shatter

into tears...

And

we just

die.
