_{she's made of fragmented
glass and protruding
bone and dangles
from puppet strings;
dissected and
medicated by monsters
with unseeing eyes.
apocalyptic visions of
the future paint the
insides of her eyelids; a
world in which the cities
and landmarks she
will never see burn
into ash.

-

the stitching in her smile
comes undone at the
thought of growing up.
she wants to be that
blissful little girl who wore
the sun like a golden gown
and painted incandescent
stars on her
irises.
[who knew it
would come to
this?]

-

she now sits alone, a
macabre abomination
in lace and plaid, with
a wind-up key in
her back, weakened
by dialogue and syringes.

-

she only wanted
to be loved, but discovered
that candy hearts and love
letters were meant for the
beautiful; the flawless faces
and bedroom eyes that
she could not have.
[even the fallen
never embraced her.]}
