Beautiful

She bleeds diamonds, and the world knows it…
They line up with their knives dressed up like roses.
A kiss on the wrist; she’s losing her mind,
She lets them into her heart and they bleed her dry.

With buckets loaded, they notice her cries
and the sapphires tumbling down from her eyes.
Greed consumes; they want all of her wealth
until she’s left emptied of blood, tears, and self.

Sneers line their lips when they’ve gathered enough-
“No one this empty is deserving of love”
the diamonds slow as she breathes her goodbyes,
wondering how beautiful she’ll be when she dies.
