Bones

Christina

So I'll be dying
I'm a pretty girl dying
There's no justification for what they have done
And there will be no justification for what I will do to them
One day I will have them all
I'll be wrapped in their pieces
In their dreams
I'll be decorated by their abandonment
They will no longer be there
They will always be here
I'll use their physical flaws to adorn my body
I'll garnish my neck with dentata
i'll wear their heart across mine
They will be me
Literally
