Moonlight rose
By Twisted Vanity
Soft and red
She tilts her head
a velvet tear
against the satin
of night
she opens herself
to the moon's milky light.
Her thorns are
for sorrow
grown in through
her youth
like a flower
inside her
she's writhering
and bleeding
too
She yearns to see truth
to take back her youth
to a writhering rose,
time is still too late
So she writhers in moonlight.
