Tragedy In Black

Everyone has an obsession Others are harmless Hers were not Obsession devours beautiful souls into the black of night Hers soul was bright and promising If only she had known this on that night They carried her away Her future fading to black and vanished quickly She had been consumed with depression She strived to be like others, tall and pretty Jealousy rotted her soul slowly Agencies loved her But only them She spent long hours crying Her obsession? Leaving crimson tear drops in her wake Pricks and slices She struggled to hide the secrets Being exposed to the world for all to see yet even then no one knew She was dark Captured by the emptiness of the dark as she withered away Waiting to be found That pretty face was no more Jealousy rotted her through Yet again obsession took another beautiful soul Caitlyn Ellison
