Shattered Mosaic

It's just a *tease
* It's just a joke 
I'm sure her *wrists
* Can take much more For every word that ached her heart was written in red within her skin 

'Twas just the *cat
* 'Twas just the *diet
* 'Twas just the pills 
That kept her silent

 Help her soul 
Her soul is fine 
But save her *perception
* From the false veracities 

A *deluge of razors
* Raid in mind *
"I'm fat , naive and eccentric"* 
Is what's behind 

So the purging came 
Like knights in gory battle Relentlessly ravaging Shattering the girl from the *inside

* And all she ever felt
 Was the absurdity
 Of the gory knights Ready to slit the thread of life Blinded by the agonizing relief She lost her mind to perfection And ‘twas only then when *She whimpered in bitter regret

* Because It was just your *tease
* And It was just your *joke
* That emboldened the knights 
to make her think happiness is just a hoax
