The Girl With No Body

The Girl with No Body - Momus

Rosemary walks across corridors

Across ballet school studio floors

Noon the first day of the holidays

And the college is already closed

But she stands at the mirror

And dreams of the boy who

Has left her alone here to die

And the mirrors reflect to infinity

And she looks at herself with his eye

And the one boy that mattered rejected her

So she shattered the image

The mirror threw back at her

Breasts too flat legs too thin

Skin supernaturally pale

And now nobody sees her

The girl with no body

Dancing in the labyrinth alone

And she stands at the

Washbasin looking glass

Turns on the tap with a twist

And like Alice in Wonderland

Quite unsurprised

Sees the razor blade enter her wrist

And the one boy that

Mattered rejected her

So she shattered the image

The mirror threw back at her

Breasts too flat legs too thin

Skin supernaturally pale

And now nobody sees her

The girl with no body

Dying in the labyrinth alone
