Cold sweat, red lips
My eyelids painted gold
Lashes brushed with glitter
And cheeks dusted rose
Eyes lined with stardust,
They've spun me a dress.
Weaving it with pearls,
Diamonds,
Lace.
It's not enough to blind me.
They think I'll fall into their
Intricate
Trap,
Woven as tightly as the dress
That clings to my unwilling skin.
Their lies, their maudlin attempts
To keep me satisfied
They're see through,
And for a moment I want to laugh
A laugh full of bitterness and hatred
But I don't
If I want to survive, I keep
Silent.
So I embrace this hollow world,
This prison,
Knowing it will taste so sweet
The day I can finally break
Free.
