This girl is fenced
in the Times New Roman 10 font barricade of words dripping honey;
the wilting rose's thorns to prick her porcelain figure
and stable her breathing.
For one sigh too heavy
and the threads keeping her together could bust.

This girl is numb,
hollowed by the wooden spoon scooping out her swollen marrow.

This girl is tattered and torn through hear break,
as she releases her secrets to the moon during the night.
