"Inner Face"


Blood-stained rose
on a silvery floor
In a frozen pose
solid to the core

Across the room
a girl so young
She saw the doom
the flower had sung

Scared of horror
she claws the wall
Touched a mirror
to the floor she falls

Her hands reach out
to an image her own
A frost-nipped shout
over her body shown

Reflection she sees
deep inside her
makes her flee
her body, her figure

A hand rose through 
the icy soil
Gnarled and blue
it came to spoil

The rose it took
(A new found treasure)
Her heart it shook
in frigid pleasure

She craves the blood
the petals dripped
Fears the grave
other's have sipped

Something snapped her 
like a twig
The rose said "Hither"
and she did

Snatched the flower
from the hand
She has the power 
to understand

Raised her arms
up to the air
Devours the charms
of icy despair

Herself she eyes
blood-soaked fingers
She screams and cries
Bitter taste lingers

Cold creeps inside
her ice-chilled case
she kept the pride
instilled in her face

Frozen solid 
her heart beats not
Died, she did
Happy and distraught
