Dangling

Who lets these salted tears?
Fallen from grace she lay
Still. Frozen. Wanting less
For more, given in haste
Slaughtered wholesome. Unrest
Want for sanctioned pardon
Wilted desire her
Flagrant demanding self
Seek redemption surely
Pity I disavow
Relentless this pursuit
Of happiness does breathe
Wanting. Needing. Giving
Death comes her skeleton
Dangling bones. Click-clack
Puppets strung on wires
Dance. I will show you how
Majestic in my show
Forever devoured
Shhh I whisper to you
Forgive me all my sins
Sister I have returned
Unwelcome in your world
Screaming inside and out
