Shimmer
~~~~~~~~
shedding skin, shimmering
ugly ruby red
locked up/chained down in the shed
force fed
peeling it out
peeling it open
out into the ugly ruby dead
she's a little thing
a blonde shell-shocker
lips to pucker
she sat in his lap and shed that shimmery skin
///hold baby down///
//cut open her throat///
//let the dark out///
///let the ruby seep in///
you peel me closer to the sky than I ever believed
empty cradle
bloody ceiling
ugly ruby dead
She's locked down
chained up in the shed
~shimmering~
