• In the darkness it’s clear as day-
    A silver silhouette:
    A body lying motionless
    In a pool of deep regret.

    The shadow of what once had been;
    Of a rose with twisted thorns…
    A fallen angel stranded here
    She’s Innocent no more.

    On this night, she hid alone
    And whispered a quiet goodbye.
    She hung her head in the silence
    Tears brimming her eyes- but did not cry.

    She took each knife with bitter pride-
    And never said a word.
    To even reconsider now
    Would surely be absurd.

    In the darkness it’s clear as day-
    A silver silhouette.
    The shadow of what once had been
    And of a fate…
    Never met.
