Glitterless and Bare
In a world swathed, in the darkest of night
She danced and she twirled, emanating light
The very place where, her dainty hands lay
Scintillated sparks, of glorious day
A woman touched, by celestial grace
Heavenly glitter, sheened angelic face
She traipsed high and low, aching hearts to bless
Lustrous glory, she clothed in tenderness
One day fairy, by unseen hand did fall
Shiny wings crushed, she was left there to crawl
Her soul's glimmer, now flowed out in her tears
Prostrate on the ground, weighed by bitter fears
With every sob, falling glitter left bare
Her magic gone, she gave in to death there
