Thinking there was nowhere left to go With tears streaming down her sickly pale cheeks The torn threads she will not sew While much needed help she refuses to seek She plucked each pedal with frigid fingers Ingested the sweet scent with a nose much too pink Yet the smell of unforgiving acetone still lingers Further into loneliness she begins sink As if she were being lured by an anchor Down to the bottom for eternity Now numb, the heavens will take her And return her endangered sanity

Alone
Thinking there was nowhere left to go With tears streaming down her sickly pale cheeks The torn threads she will not sew While much needed help she refuses to seek She plucked each pedal with frigid fingers Ingested the sweet scent with a nose much too pink Yet the smell of unforgiving acetone still lingers Further into loneliness she begins sink As if she were being lured by an anchor Down to the bottom for eternity Now numb, the heavens will take her And return her endangered sanity
