Emily Desmond - Molly

Her wide eyes alive, the young sunlight blankets her bed
On her shelf sits a jar of the rapture she fears she'll forget
On the pavement she treads on the jaws that will drop at her sight
But she's humble, and taken by a man who knows luck's on his side

But she sees impurity
She's held together by teeth
Inside she fights the fiends that she hides
While I always wished that I could be stunning and heavenly
More like Molly
Molly

Her spirit is armored from the counterfeit crowds she sees through
On one hand she can name all the ones that she swears to be true
Pound for pound in any ring, she is fighting with heart and aggression
She's a quiet assassin, misjudged by dimensions and discretion

But she sees the peril of words
Avoids discomfort
Her toughest competitor was always her
While I always wished I could be smart and resilient
More like Molly
Molly

If only people knew Molly the way that I do
Her most beautiful qualities are the ones that nobody sees

Her laugh is contagious illuminating every shadow sunk face
Her eyes a mosaic of every deep scar and mortal crusade
She is dripping with passion when she speaks of the minds that she molds
But she herself falls behind because heavy is a heart of pure gold

And when she turns out the lights at night
She'll quietly cry in spite
Of the future lives of the ones that she loves
While I always wished that I could be
Selfless and benevolent more like Molly
Molly
Molly
Molly
