Blue-tinged lips, cold kiss
Pallid complexion, numb caress
A day submersed, still so fair
Water drips from tangled hair
A week before I let out a sigh
The night to wed had been nigh
Flowers picked, gowns we'd chosen
Now blank stare, heart is frozen
A final bed, satin white
Grief sharp and clear, but blurred is sight
The makeup makes you look so plastic
Someone else lies in the casket
Love is a joke from God to mankind
Impossible to keep, nearly so to find
The truth now I know, pain is eternal
God is cruel, for joy is ephemeral
