Dim

In the dark, unseen by night
Spot on her face, a raindrop's proud
Her lamp had run out of fire.
With an axe in hand, she split herself in two.
"Am I still pretty?" she asks, her heart aching sore.
"If I'm not, burn me pristinely because I hate all of me."
Heather in the crying weather,
But is she unlike others? Let bones break.
Then feed them to stray dogs;
For mirrors never lie, my eyes are not foolish, and I can't deceive by disguise.
