For CiennaBA's contest again. Same poem, just longer. It's a bit 'creepy' as my sister says and 'weird ' as my mum says... So read if you dare. Xx.

The sky above, ink black
Cloudless above the near empty shack
She stares at the crystal stars
Standing out like burning scars
White robe draped over her shoulder
In her hands she gripped a folder
Scraps of memories scattered through
Years of tears and joy she knew
Broken heart and swollen eyes
Would not take away her prize
Days and months worth of pain
She took it upon herself to claim
Up upon the last wishing star
Standing out like a burning scar
Muttering under her last breath
She wished to rewind her lost love's death.

The sky above, ink black
Cloudless above the near empty shack
Swooning towards the lonely girl
Trees sway under the hanging pearl.
She wipes away the rivulets
She prays and hopes away her debt
To her love deep down under
She cries and shivers through the thunder
One more strike of lightning bright
One more wish takes her sight
Twigs and rubble cut her soul
Her heart turning into coal
Up upon a shooting star
Burning bright in her scar
Muttering in her final breath
She wished to rewind her lost love's death.

The sky above, ink black
Cloudless near the empty shack
Pitter patter goes the rain
She puts a silence on her name
Her life ceases to exist
An end sealed with her fist
Severed from her stick-like arm
As the blood poured she stayed calm
Her sacrifice to her nation
The living death congregation
Unearthed the body lay
Down on the sandy bay
Up upon their dreaming star
Covering up her deep scar
Muttering through her solemn death
She returned her vacant love to breath.

I only just realised how long it actually is... Well is only three stanza's but they're all sixteen lines each...never mind.
