Dead Girl
Little
girl in your rainbow dress,
So
tattered and torn,
Is
it cold in your grave tonight?
So
far below the world.
And
I wish I were there
Watching
you go to where the dark things sleep
So
far below the dreaming.
Looking
so smart in your pressboard overcoat,
Sleeping
the sleep
And
dreaming the dreams of insanity,
Feeling
that intimate kiss of things inside your skull.
Do
you miss me in your decay?
Or
is your new lover better,
Singing
you to sleep with his frantic marches,
And
his funeral dirges,
And
giving you the cold lipless kiss of the grinning skull?
I
miss you girl, like I miss breathing,
But
they say there's no cure for that.
So
I'll just leave you this flower,
And
sing you a love song,
To
keep you company,
In
this forest of head stones.
Please
don't cry.
