she tries to fill a bathtub with.
she desperately attempts to preserve them
it's all that keeps her heartbeat going.
connecting hope to her imagination,
where she hibernates from the world.
she takes comfort in the darkness
while rays of sunshine poke through her window
just to tease her,
remind her of how weak she is to face it once again.
vampiric demons of lust clawing at her soul,
she must cleanse her heart of this deceit.
she presented herself so sweetly, with such loving deeds
even her masks they could never resist,
(always the finest material, laced with diamonds and rubies...)
even when her lies was seeping through the edges,
she sins so gracefully.
her loneliness causes delusions
she cannot distinguish from reality.
impulses she mistakes for sincerity and truth.
all the faces in the crowd around her,
blurred with distorted television static voices.
but she once had a dream her soul was floating outside of her body,
where she could see the scars from sins she commited, and her heart wasting away like a corpse.
the long-lasting fantasy has faded
and now i can finally see you all for what you really are.
