Her face was pale like a paper sail
Her hands shook like a branch
Her lips locked tight like a house at night
It hit like an avalanche
She flew like a swallow, her heart felt hollow
The music chimed and swayed
Adrenaline coursed, but she felt no remorse
Or at least she kept it at bay
Her bow was a beast, a hundred teeth at least
Screaming and wailing its cry
The strings flinched and they fluttered, her song never stuttered
And it ended with a sigh.
