The screaming
The crimson flow
Shattering silence
Breaking the noise
I can't feel anymore

The red and black
Flowing dress
Cascading over
Her un-scarred body
They say she's not real

A ghost. How'd she die?
Once again, the wrong question
The question of asphyxiation
My love, is 'why'

Holding hands with death
A pillow or a rope
I'm haunted by my decision
Of self-destructive hope

Ensnaring me in
Your etrancing stare
I wish I could cut
Myself from you
Just like in the movies

Where's my happy ending?
A thriller? A horror?
What character am I?
My love for the trepidation
You cause my heart

Blank eyes
do stare
A face
so rare

She screams
The face...
Of a monster
In the mirror

So beautiful
So fearful, feared
Plastic
No reality

The face forms
As the hand
covers the pretty mouth
asphyxiation
Asphyxiation

The screaming
The crimson flow
Shattering silence
Breaking the noise
I can't feel anymore
