No more replies? Alright, here's the next on the album:
Beauty
Oh, beauty,
twisted and lovely
you've become frail and lonely,
supported by wire
I mistook for hair
running my fingers though
snapping bones as you stare
at your ribcage,
grown warped and queer
tangled like a bone corset
expand your lungs, my dear
or are they compressed by your
desire to have a beautiful spleen?
Is this why
it was my breath you chose to steal
This is your life, beauty
numb even to things you can feel
your nerves are swimming in the sewer
where you caught me,
your legs bobbing like lures,
but they have drifted away,
and I have peeled the remains
and left you where you lay,
shriveled in your nudity
Oh, Beauty
I only ever knew your body
