Everyone knew that something had cracked

Lately they even wrote songs

Everyone knew of something she lacked

Very few asked what was wrong

Almost to a tee their lips were all sealed

Totally immersed in their game

Only using the muse she revealed

Refusing to mention it by name

Elfin ears sifting what to keep

Long wispy curls hiding spikes

Eyes that are always falling asleep

Venus de Milo-ing dislikes

All her collections of lyrics with names

Tore holes in her confidence game

Occasionally brightening her day just the same

Refusing to mention it by name

Endless numbers lit up as she passed

Lifting her spirits like a jet

Everyone said she would never be last

Valentines stuffed in her net

All of us knew she collected us all

Temporary insanity or blissfully sane

Only I knew it to be her downfall

Refusing to mention it by name
