Silky Glass Smile

This here, is God’s joke
Give a man a daughter,
A fist, and booze
Her benediction from a
Caustic Lord
Look, funny, she’s got a new bruise

“Break me”, she should have begged
Instead, a comically slow
Self-destruction
Burlesque, she and Fear
Tragically tripping
On Fate’s seduction

Oh yes, she’s clever
Led blind by the force
Of imperfection
A smoke-screen forced with
Her silky glass smile-
Her failed resurrection

Look now, how ironic
She slays Abuse with a
Sororal blade
She’ll sanctify a past of ruin
By waltzing with silver
Now, watch her Fade
