Dressed to please their fantasies,
on my toes for them to play with,
hiding behind a painted smile,
with my heart screaming the truth.
They pluck my beloved petals,
while counting my worth in tears,
sinking their teeth into my skin,
as my dying flame fades.
Seen through cracked mirrors,
as I bleed a dreamy reflection,
to meet their needs—
burning an imprint into their eyes.
I just want to escape,
won’t you leave with me?
