I met a
young woman whose body was
burning
Her hair aflame in
waves of scarlet
And her lips smoking fluorescent blue--
The
crimson tide laps at her skin
Pulling her
Down
down
down
Into the watery depths of her porcelain coffin
Eyes blinking, gasping
and one dead hand extended
In a final cry for help
I met a young woman whose body was burning...
To tie it in with The Rules of Attraction... I wrote this in reference to the bathtub scene; I used to be that girl and it seeing that just made me... ache.
