A crooked tiara
Perched over tear stains
Smudged makeup drying
Only the pain now remains
But the sunshine emerges
Hope rises after the ashes
Don’t give up on me, for I’m
Here to kiss wet eyelashes
A Crooked Tiara
ash

“…mercy’s a business, I wish it for you
More than just ashes when your dreams come true…”
