1711

Stars aligned that fateful night
An event unforgotten.
Two souls of dust and ash collide
Burning ever so bright
Amidst flickers of a darkness to come.

But the darkness fast approaches
Bleeding lies disguised in firm assurance

Of a fake promise.

-----------------------------

Her chest bled the colour of many sanguine shades
Hiding scars from the impact.

She moved away 
Away from arrows that blighted her life's essence.
Yet further away from a certain warmth
The warmth she felt that night
The night when stars aligned.
