Through the Flames of Her Blackened Heart--
A cobwebbed threshold
of her festering wound.
The foul rush of shadow and abandonment
spoiled just beyond recognition.
Embers of a chaotic ritual

through the flames of her blackened heart
becoming death’s latest rendezvous.
Darkness has a tight grip on her
even light refuses to set her free.
Her kissed curses were sinfully forgotten
though her lost heart still beats.
