Cruelty Laced
.
Frightening frailty
Is my finest fabric
Delicate elegance is
Cruelty laced
By exposure of bones
The value is placed
Protrusions betray
I'm waisting away
Deepening hollows and
Darkening shadows
A display of slow decay
Uncover and discover
The Sacred-Forbidden
Unveiled to give you
Permission to see
What's meant to be hidden
A sharpened sculpture
An exhibition of fascinating definition
For all the envious stares
Poorly pretending the sight of me
Scares

The title drew me in and the poem delivered as i was hoping it would.
Concise, well delivered piece with carefully chosen words and imagery.
I look forward reading more of your work Lilith, welcome to du :)
