There is fire in my eyes,

My heart, my soul.

There is stardust in my mind,

My essence, my very being.

These bones are a prison,

And I am rattling the bars.

This mortal body is a cage,

And I am howling to be free.

There is a graveyard in my heart,

And I will bury you there.

There is a dead boy in my heart,

And many others like him.

There is a temple in my soul,

And it is ruined, desolate.

There is a cathedral in my soul,

And no one is left to worship there.

There is a girl in the mirror,

And her eyes are sad, tired.

There is a girl in the mirror,

And her eyes are dark, hungry.

There is a girl in my mind,

And she is heartsick.

There is a girl in my heart,

And she is bloodthirsty.

There is a girl I know well,

And a girl I don’t.

There is a pair of girls here,

And I am both of them.
