You Would Never Guess, Unless You Saw Her Scream

Schoolgirl valentine smiles in

Red leather bondage, studded with spike metal

Leaps across the empty mountains after midnight

Spreads her arms like a confused mistress

Holding the world on her back,

Buckliing shoulders support an ancient

"Something she'll never understand"

Ties an old ghost to a withering tree

In a burning forest,

Leaves him to melt to a fierce bubbling

Puddle of foolish hope

And skips the funeral

To attend a dragon's ball

Hosted by a myth that cries itself to sleep

Arrives on the arm of a cheap lie,

In crystal stilettos sticking to fishnet stockings

And faded dress worn with friction

Faking concern for the charity of the night

Waltzes as the night heads to climax

On an empty spiral floor

That rises erect to the sky

With her on top, writhing and shaking

Leaps from the clouds at dawn as

Breath turns to ice,

Soars past a hundred homeless hearts and

Sprouts huge wings

Rises to the glowing sun, fades out of sight

Then ignites in a blinding flash

That fills the sky and leaves nothing

Feeling whole anymore.
