Seven Black Stars

Seven black stars painted on her arm hide her pale white flesh

Seven black stars that hide what could have been her death

Seven black stars that kiss the scars of the pain that she knows

Seven black stars all fall into a nice little perfect row

Seven black stars to hide the marks of what she did to herself

Seven black stars all just to tell her she's in good health

Seven black stars to hide what she's hidden from her friends

Seven black stars just to tell her to keep her from her end.

Seven black stars drawn over the sheets stained crimson red.

Seven black stars that fail to tell her that she's yet dead.
