Fragility

Heavy rain on my window
Remind me of the tears that fall
The soundless beating of my heart
Fills the deep and hallowed hall

Memories I used to know
Ring even louder still
Butterflies and endless lies
Line my window sill.

Blood pulsates in my veins
Skin as fine as lace
Hair wispy and dry
Lips thinly on my face

Showing flesh, white and ivory
And twisted bones beneath
A subtle yell breaks the spell
As they buckle like a leaf

A dainty lady, tall and cold
Falls to the ground again
Broken by man and loves loss
Stabbed by anonymous pen.
