LIFE BEGAN WHERE SHE ENDED IT

She wore a smile

It was simple

Yet not a soul understood

Deeper

She fell

Sinking,

Eternally between petals of a rose.

Afraid.

She feared to face herself.

To look in the eyes she possessed

Her reflection chased her

And she ran

Further away

Till she could.

Running away from the sight of that rose.

Pretty it was.

And inside she choked.

Cried.

Screamed.

Shouted.

And no one listened.

She was afraid.

To be heard

To be loved

She was too afraid to live.

Alone in the darkness she spoke.

Cried.

Screamed.

And she was heard

Heard by the fairies who didn't exist.

By Santa who never came

By the magic that remained a dream

By the candle that was burning away.

Melting slowly.

Softly

Like the touch of the rose petal

It was dying

Burning down

Gathering memories,Tears, smiles and pains

It died.

And so did she.

She lay in a pool of blood.

ALONE.

UNAFRAID.
