Illusions
I placed a rose petal upon her blue lips.
Death was gorgeous.
Her name was Harley.
Now her name is Gone.
Her arms are painted red.
An x marks her cheek.
Her nails are already blackening with decay.
My eyes fluttered
Painful white sunlight
I am not Gone. I am not Harley.
I am hidden between the sheets.
My alarm clock is trilling.
The deathful beauty is gone.
At least on the outside.
