Tissues tear under pressure.
As careless onlookers try to breathe in
the air of something fresher.
Self-satisfied glares under
the gaze of a doily umbrella.
They mutter "Oh that poor Cinderella!"
Rotting flowers falling from an empty hand.
Not caring on which grave
they land.
A flowing dress stiffened from a hard heart.
Lying beneath the dirt
is this dying art.
Powered blue sorrow drifting from caked eyes.
Lying on the frosted grass
this love's demise.
Translucent wings ******* blue veins from the back.
A halo is what
this dead girl lacks.
Wilted dandelions wrapped round the neck with love.
Choking and cloaking a man's
abusive glove.
A lovers' kiss won't wake
this sleeping beauty.
But a suitors love did break
both soul and body.
