The Ice Princess

perfect by nature,
everybody´s darling,
rulebreaker number one,
queen of broken hearts,
blue-blooded whore,
scientist´s mind and angel´s body,
the ice princess - entering the stage in deathly pale grace

her eyes illuminating the world
her hands dictating the rhythm of the dance
but her lips
bursting with unspoken words

she´s wearing glowing steel, roses and diamonds
robing herself in self-indulgent coolness
in brilliant cynicism
shining arrogance
absolute self-confidence
irresistible purposefulness
superior smiles
untouchable disinterest

in the most beautiful facade
and in secrets which will never see daylight

and nobody discovers the cracks in this fragile mask
nobody´s there to fix her halo
and nobody notices
her soul
going to splinters
