Innocence Hanging
written by Amulet

searching for the girl inside

with nail polish and red lipstick
champagne breakfast
strawberry flavoured lips
wine's only for big girls

she's gone down to the river

beautiful destruction
fishnets and ice-cream on sunday
beautiful disaster
she's sleeping on the muddy bank

so, call me a whore if it makes you feel better

move me, again
make me cry
two angels with hearts on the floor

they're strapped
to the innocence rack

the emancipation of the little girl

tied to the roof
hanging on
to the hangmans noose

hanging

pink party dress in tiny hand
round tummy, black lace nickers
rope burn

pale face
bright red lipstick

innocence hanging

lay beneath her and stare at the pink soles of her dirty feet
