A Pretty Shoplifter in Psychosis

I do not sing, but I will smile at you
as we pass by in solitary trance.
I’ve stolen something pretty, something blue.
You passed me by; you steal a second glance.
I feel you turn and wonder why my lips
are thin and dark, and why my face is drawn
so tightly.  There’s a little girls that skips
within my soul.  My soul is almost gone.
They’ll bury it some more with pills and spells
the way I push my prize beneath my dress.
But first they’ll cuff the bitch that always tells
on me.  I’m pretty; she’s a fucking mess!
You think my eyes are pretty, I can hear
the way you kiss them as I disappear.
