Starry eyes
& starry nights,
snowflake images
of what keeps her grounded.

Twisted curls
& twisted lies,
perfume scented
warnings of self destruction.

Plastic cards
& plastic smiles,
cold and lonely
the truth exposed.

Metal strings
& metal bars,
beauty echoes
soothing irony's clammy bite.

Empty voices
& empty heads,
silence fills
the empty spaces that lack of knowledge left behind.
