Shriveled Sunrise

She had bittersweet eyes

With hair of lilac teardrops skimming down smoked skin

She waited patiently for the deep inferno to comfort her

But only found herself within celestial flames


Silver scars and cracked teeth

The ghostly wisps of her trailing footsteps

They resounded against the walls of sickening moonlight

But only found their echoes drowned by charred shadows


She had fire breath with golden hymns

A melody for the demised landscapes and cold ashes

She was alone in desolate daybreak and rogue sunlight

But only found solace in the forgotten, dried out heartbeats
