she sleeps it off
alone and untouched
don't disturb the private crisis
close the door, walk away
the world has shut her out
she turns off the sound, voids the colour
in her pretty dreams, she bleeds for it
but then the desire swallows her whole
she awakens in the dark with no one to see
shaking and cold, her ghostly hand reaches
beneath it all
hope dances a spiraling death
with nothing left but plastic horror
the soft veil tames her eyes
the needle fills her emptiness with poison
she steals shallow pleasure, succumbing to the life of her veins
when it's all over she cleans the mess
as best her broken heart can
she's so deep into love
she feels as though she's never known it
alone, she knows she's alone
she longs only to cease the endless beat
icy steel and a shattering blast
she flees to leave the emptiness with them
the sorrow of love indescribable
as all the words twist themselves away into stillness
