Dead Girls Tell No Lies: A Novel In Poems

...Begins

I was born on a stormy day

On August 17.

Strange, I died on the 18.

A day just after the day my life began.

My Parents told me I had the blackest hair

They had ever seen.

My Grandparents told me

When I opened my eyes,

They were the colour of green leaves.

I guess thats why my middle name

Is Ivy.

Natiley Ivy Cord.

Reminds you of a bright, lively girl

Full of hope, right?

I was

Once.

Boy, did that change.
