Clara

Signed, The Devil

To look upon her ocean blue eyes 

You\'d never know the devil lurked behind 

He holds her ransom noon and night 

A slave to her own desire

 

He scratches and crawls under pale soft skin 

Until she bears down with her own teeth 

She fills her mouth with purfumed flesh 

To keep the devil\'s roar within her chest

 

In flowy white dresses and daisys in her hair 

She braces his onslaught of red and despair  

Her meek little soul is bound up tight 

Yet she will continue to fight all through the night

 

Just as predicted her sins they rise 

As she plays freely with his great fire  

Lucid thoughts when they come 

They try to free her forsaken soul 

 

Today, if you see her 

Salty tears leave tracks through pink blush

But her smile shows no trace of her blood 

She wears her mask showcasing contentment 

Yet, this is just the rehearsal you know 

The breaking of her soul... 

That comes after the main show.
