You Wear Your Death Well

You wear your death well When I met you The two exes in your eyes Were anything but a surprise You couldn’t walk but The fact that you glided Across the floor without using your feet Didn’t blow me away Don’t try to cover up the black under your eyes It’s so pretty on dead girls You are so noticeably lovely That I almost forget that you can’t breathe
