Elegantly streaming through my veins
Keeping the life I steadily animate
Propelling through my warming heart
Trying to block away the realm of hate

Tightly fitted royal dress
Cigarette held up to ruby lips
That smile as you walk by
Behind clouds of smoke that tell a lie

Fire breaking out inside my body
Flames so concealed, no one can grasp
Held in so tightly, ready to combust
Tears of blood now drip to the floor...
