She rests beneath the starry skies
A dim blank look covers her eyes
Like a thin mist,
a silky guise
As she rests beneath the skies

Her body still,
cool to the touch
So, so pale
This is all too much
Her ruby lips
will tell no more lies
As she rests beneath the skies

In her hand
Delicate, yet dead
Lays a flower
A bright blood red
She seems to clutch it
But it can not hide
Underneath this vast wide sky

The flower wilts
as the days go past
They go by so quickly
So, so fast
Yet she stays there,
not quite alive
As she lays
beneath the skies
