Sunset Rues and Midnight Blues

Pain

Pain

Hidden inside

Locked away from eyes

It stayed

Broken and raw

Dark and haunting

Turned her into dust

An empty shell

Of vast nothingness

Pain

Never to unveil

For none deserved to know her

The real her

The uncovered glory that she was

Underneath all those hidden shades

Worth more than the stars and sky

More than the universe could offer her

Worth more than empty words

An unearthly beauty

Pain

A second skin she knew

For she wasn't her own

Now she lays still

The world would wonder about it

But don't you forget

She knew pain

She knew it

Better than you could ever know.
