broken porcelain

bones and skin: nothing beneath
her heart does not beat;
her eyes do not blink;
and where there once was a brain: a beautiful, intelligent mind,
absorbed all there was,
that once could tell you all there is to see,
all there is to feel,
now but a black hole:
empty, useless space.innocence stolen.
along with everything that once had been.
her lungs have collapsed,
her finger tips turned numb.
tell her you love her,
an emotion she cannot comprehend.
leave her and break her,
watch her not even flinch.
no tears from her dead eyes,
glazed-over eyes.
she'll reach out and ask for help,
giving the illusion there is something left.
but it is too late:
you cannot save her from herself.
