Girl of Ash
May 23, 2019
There was a girl with copper hair
And eyes of the hottest fire,
For everything she saw and felt
Released those flames of ire
Which burned her body inside out
And charred her very soul,
Sent sharp sparks throughout her veins,
Turned her heart to charcoal.
Her bronze skin crackled and blackened,
Crumbled into fine flakes of ash
That scattered in the broken wind
And seared the air like a thin slash;
A wound in which the stars would die
And demons finally take their rest,
For that poor girl had been consumed
By pain and anger at its crest.
