Oh lovely lady

Oh lovely lady of ivory hair 
How your pale skin shimmers in the day
How your hazel eyes compliment your smile 
With teeth as white as pearls 
And lips of a blushing rose
Your walk as even as a calm stream 
And your voice as sweet as honey

Such a shame for a soulless shell 
She holds such an untrue beauty 
Her eyes as empty as a soulless corpse 
Her smile holds only a wicked happiness 
Her lips shoot cold truth only to disturb 
Her walk has no elegance but holds only pride 
She lets her hair display her envy 
Dyed red with rage of rejection 
Her pale skin shattered with broken innocents

If you see this broken woman wandering near 
Do not ward her away
I fear she may collapse where she stands 
Like a branch under unbearing pressure 
Of being alone and unloved
