"The White Goddess" by Lexi Smith

White Goddess

I’m left clinging to this goddess
So white and frigid, she shames snow
I’m strapped around her bodice
All my gluttons of today she now knows

I don’t deserve this frustration and pain
I didn’t drink or party, or even play
Every experience supposedly has a gain
All I can see is white as bright as day

Abandoned with my lifeless goddess
I try to get it over with quick
Let the sickness take me in its fist
Purge all my bile, all my secrets that make me sick

Hours upon hours this lonely day I’ve spent with her
Cold, frigid, and hollow as she may be
At least she was there when no one else’d stir
My porcelain goddess, she’s always there for me
