Under the Blood Red Sun

A girl, familiar

Yet a stranger

Stands in the dead of winter

With not an absence of light

She stands like a statue

Under a blood red Sun

She reaches to touch it

Seeks its warmth

She gets burned in the flame

The scar is pain that threatens

To tear life apart

But it's nothing compared

To the scars on her heart

A girl, strange

And foreboding

Stands in the stillness

Not speaking

Nor doing

Just letting

Thoughts run wild

A girl.

Lost in place

And lost in time

Driven by

Eternal rhyme
