Beauty is the sharpest pin

Which does not see herself grow thin

As months pass, seeming close to hours

She appears to us like wilting flowers,

She hungers and yet she denies,

And sheds her petals as each one dies

Deepening crevices in her skin

Please don't let the dead girl win,

Never let the dead girl win.
