Twisted strands of lemon drip
down coconut skin gingerly
until brushing seductively against
melted bubble gum pink fabric
gently sticks to feminine curves
trying to hide beneath faded LEI
jeans covering bruises never noticed
when sparkling mossy green eyes
tell happy lies to anyone watching
her facade being performed routinely
as hollow insides eat heartily eat away
morsels of her whimpering soul begging
for a spoonful of genuine happiness
before she etches external scars deeper
than the bottom of the Mississippi River
automatically in her bedtime release
of letting out tainted blood
one droplet at a time
until it flows more rapidly than
white water rapid emotions
daring to come out from hiding
untold secrets while her blade slices
through paper thin veins easily
and leaves a still body in taking her
fountain of life.
