• Hatred clutching her heart

    Forcing the love to drip from her cold skin

    Beads of liquid

    Like rubies refusing to be forgotten

    Memory consuming her eyes

    A daze she sleeps in

    Lives in

    He destroyed any straight-edged support she had left

    Any normalcy

    Now she lays on a jagged piece of hidden lust

    Disguised by love

    Her eyes- like coal left charred

    Weak

    Her heart- black crushed by a love

    Born with a touch

    Fueled with a passion

    Destroyed by a truth

    Vulnerable

    Naïve

    Innocent

    All destroyed by the fire he so easily built

    Calling it love

    True love

    Smothering the truth with all she longed for

    Her life, ashes

    Floating away in a heavy wind called life

    Oh, the fire that burned

    Leaving her empty

    A shell of who she was

    A pile of nothing left from what a flame created
