"To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other and to feel. That is the purpose of life." -Life Magazine


Fallen girl is porcelain
Wondering how long she will last
Whispering to the empty room
She cries a tear of glass

 

Salt stings in open wounds
Crystal scratches face
Haunted eyes are careful spies
Put demons in their place

 

Little girl wore an ugly necklace
Decorated with black tattoos
Little boy learned love's a game
His mom continues to lose

 

High thick walls
Innocents blow them away
She's the first person
They realize will stay

 

Fallen angel is their rock
Little do they know
The only mark of her seams
Little red rips hide low

 

Sleepless nights end restless days
All words lead to sorrow
There is no way of forgetting how
No love lives in tommorrow

 

She came to teach a lesson
Always showing acceptance and love
But the world is heavy and dark and deep
Even for one from above

 

Her crowning glory was her innocence
Her spirit drew many in
She was much too light for gravity
She could not bypass sin

 

On the weighted day I saw
To her life showed no favor
Tainted, lying in a pool of veneer
There lay her fallen halo
