Wilted flower, ageless in A time of frailty, never wishing For her glow to fade, but Every flower wilts over time. She was weak in sympathy Seeing everyone though her Outer shell was, of ill taste, Souring there eyes. So those of younger skin she Spat upon in hated gestures, Until she could not see beauty, Only those having what had Faded upon her over time. She was a seamstress of cloth, Fashion was in her eyes, beauty For beauty now all was bland As her image tainted, She was Upon a plan. She would take beauty from those Unworthy souls, who abused the Gift for it should be collected, Harvested, so began her crime. The first was a nose, cut off still Breathing jagged edges ruined. She slashed upon beauty as stillness Settled in there eyes. Like a canvass Now ruined, ugly in her sight, Discarded in to the river the fishes Feasting upon her crime. She harvested, parts each dead for moments but stillness brought precision, each  flawless gem, with Precise loops each part fell in to place. She only needed one more ,the lips So delicate, so fragile. She carved So many kisses from the bodies, But never the correct, impatient She became, enraged with failures. Her moments of rage, became news. "The patch work doll" "The seamstress of beauty" She liked this name for beauty Was a puzzle that she stitched Together to hide the ugly inside. Then upon those fated moments, "Excuse me do you know the" Her mind forgot to listen, transfixed Upon those ruby gems, Yes ill Show you the way. "Thank you mam" Ill fated beauty, single breathes to Take. These where her jewels of Her crown as each most delicately Removed, stored so not to break. The patchwork was finished, **hideous Monstrosity** of flesh dead, but she Revelled upon her creation. Missing The point that she was only faded inside. She wore this mask, **the seamstress of Beauty** now wore the blood of others Upon her face, each was a life taken For this moment in the mirror, she Looked upon in happiness, in joy Of others pain, but the moment faded. All she saw was others, her beauty hidden Upon the stiches of others face, she Couldn't see herself only the faces of Each life she did take. The lips moved Spoken words upon this face, you want This beauty take it cut it with the knife. She cut upon this mask, deep cuts Upon her own self, the mask fell To the floor, spare parts of meat. She cut around, bleeding down Kissing the floor as it fell. Till she Stood there, her skin, meat upon The floor. Those final moments the seamstress Saw she was beautiful, that it was Underneath that was what she had Missed, so much beauty spilled for What, as she ran screaming towards The window. Like a mirror shattering shards Showing her a reflection of the beauty She had become, she was the seamstress Of many faces but know only one Face hits upon the unforgiving ground.

Seamstress Of Beauty
Wilted flower, ageless in A time of frailty, never wishing For her glow to fade, but Every flower wilts over time.
