You’ll receive beautiful things
In this so-called “wonderful” life
Cherish their ephemeral beauty
But don’t blink twice
For one, it will disappear
For two, you’ll forget
The reminiscences it holds
And people you have met
For all the wrong reasons
It will be torn from your hands
You’ll be left bleeding
Screaming to the damned
