Lady of the River

Lying in the water,
Tangled in the reeds,
Strands of pale gold hair hung around her blue tinged form.

Blankly staring at the azure sky,
She lay naked in her watery grave,
Forgotten by time and by the buzzing warmth of life.

Pulled by the tide her skin decayed,
Her bones holding host to creatures of death,
They're slowly peeling away the bad parts.

Once a beauty now a corpse,
She is rotting away,
Returning her life to the earth.

A synthetic lifestyle,
She's fallen through reality,
Now doomed to stay forever in the grasping hold of the river.

Adrenaline rushing through her body,
She took the final plunge,
Strangled by the lilies.

Her life was stolen,
Her dress torn off,
Now she floats forever cleansed in her liquid coffin.
