Pale Blue

She promises me it’s the last time

As she slowly ties a birthmarked arm

Such beauty overtook by a powder fiend 

Left with a perfect scabbed and bruised frame 

And eyes darker than the secrets we keep  

And all her charm and cheer went to waste

Begging and pleading in vain 

For one warm embrace before her beauty fades 

Knowing I’m destined to watch her slowly die again

This horrid sound echoing after one final plunge

The devil’s breath left you seizing and shaking

Breathing my life into you while my heart’s slowly breaking 

Staring into lifeless baby blues to match the flesh hue 

Clutching and screaming for heaven to spare you
