her nails are cracked and peeling but still they only see the varnish

the wind whispers through the walls
as hollow as her soul
she lays motionless atop the sheets
as fragile as a doll

her arms are crossed upon her chest
no pigment colours her skin
jet black hair fans around her head
the quiet is deadly as sin

her lips are soft and cherry red
but she has lost her glow
her soul bids the earth goodbye
as she will soon be below
