Wrist.


She wore bracelets full of flowers 
Which to her they looked so pretty 
But no one sees what lies beneath 
The roses and the lilies


Her hair was the summer glow of June 
While her eyes were both the stars and moon 
But albeit the things that she would show 
They would simply never know


The nights that bat under her lash 
Stained her pillow with thorns and leaves 
She'd wrap them 'round her head and wrist; 
And these are the bracelets that you see.
