A Poem For A Friend

She was worst case scenario,

a thousand shades of sad.

When a supernova becomes a dying candle.

Effervescent beauty turned into a walking skeleton.

Translucent skin, taut over sharp bones.

A touch feels like a mere whisper of a thought.

Chopped hair, corrupted black.

Pale eyes, diluted pupils.

An inevitable ending to a most tragic story?

Hot tears burn the face of an already scarred child.

Just a child facing adult circumstances.
