Velvet

Happy in her soft red dress.

The worst nightmare there ever was,

I wake up, shaking, thinking of,

Her big black eyes that shone like stars.

Bashed her head against the wall

I pulled out mostly all her hair

Dragged her through the dirt and grass

But velvet never seemed to care

Plastic hands that held and moved, and

Eyes that gleamed with trusting light,

And I, all adolescent dumb

Abandoned velvet in the night

I am so guilty I can't speak

And though she's never far from mind

It's far too late to change this end

My velvet's crushed and left behind

So beautiful and I destroyed you,

So innocent and I ruined you

So trusting and I betrayed you,

So precious and it's all my fault
