Blood stained porcelain

Tear stained face

Hearts are crushed like tin

Unraveled lace

A sign stands at the door:

Please remove your masks

There is no pretending anymore

Forget what your life lacks

Shame you didn’t listen

You hid

Your eyes now glisten

Like they never did

Flowing locks of fire

Greedy eyes of green

You thought you would never tire

Naïve sapphire Queen

I don’t blame your hesitance

To let the light in

But dear, why didn’t you dance

It’s not the worst sin

You stood in front of love

It wanted to sweep you away

Even after a gentle shove

You chose your place to stay

I don’t blame your fear

It’s scary sometimes to dance

I know nothings crystal clear

But you stood there in a trance

Waiting

The figures danced before you

Fading

Like they usually do

So now you stand here

Crying and alone

In this empty ballroom

Chilled to the fragile bone

They still dance before you

Blurs of black and white

You never knew

You were turning down chances in fright

Knowing you were only alone

You grabbed your bag and fled

The depression had grown

So in the bathroom you bled

Knowing you were only alone

You grabbed the razor and bled

Finally the spotlight shone

The debutante is dead
