Just a girl

wiping the ash off her skin

scrubbing the saliva from her neck

others inhaling her words

like she held the secret to life

captivated by her beauty

she was hunted like an animal

prey for boys with inflated egos

their fingers trailing over

her porcelain skin

hands griping, grabbing parts 

eyes that were greener than

the first leaves of spring

held secrets unknown to all

a body full of electricity

of cement

she floated and sank radically 

tiny, fairy like, she was from a story

this world wasn't hers

she didn't belong

she wasn't that perfect

she was just a girl.
