Upon a Bed of Petals
In her bath tub
Was the perfume that rent the air
From petals spread in and around.
Under the beauty of a neon- light bulb
Embroidered with petals was her hair
From the room, played a solemn sound.
And to a wonderland she went
A cripple fantasy who on her had a crush
Eerie and with so much pleasure
Her soul, he had to rent
All her screams subdued with his hush
She was petrified without measure.
She pleaded herself to wake up
Knowing that she had been charmed
Upon a cliff, with him she danced
And both drank from a magical cup
She became intensively alarmed,
She died slowly as her eyes wore a gloomy sight.
Her reality ,in a tub of metals,
Found her dead upon a bed of petals.
