Red.butterflies (with Emi)

By FindAgentX

Red butterflies splattered upon the wall
cold steel kissing pale skin

last words escape from plush lips
to resonate throughout the room

cheek pressed against the tile
alone and cold

images dance before her eyes

memories of a girl

eyes of a dead woman
surrounded by the face of a pale angel

broken wings with broken lives

without hope you have no fear
striving for oblivion

she didn't know she would have such precision

in breaking her own heart

(compilation by EMI and FindAgentX)
