Peel back the apple skin so fair
slowly, carefully
for when she cries and when she sleeps

precious charm you keep.

Fold back the fingers long and pale

slowly, carefully
for when behind the fan, she softly, gently weeps
precious youth she gives.

...
Tearing
at her skin the blood drips slowly down

breaking
breaking her bones shatter to the ground.
...

Piece back the porcelain white grain
slowly, carefully
for when she comes to life again

bells of death shall ring.
