Desillusionated by the mystifying beauty of a crime

By Linwe

Unable to accomplish your goal
You drowned yourself in oil
But you floated on it
The infernal dance you couldn't quit

Self-inflicted scars everywhere
Not a maggot who would dare
To try to make you stop
Please don't give your life up..

A rope to make it worse
As if someone spread a curse
You wrecked your own luck
Like you wouldn't give a fuck

The hell you created was your own
A place where you could suffer all alone
Flames at last gave you rest
Your sacred tutu, the only thing you could make out of the mess
