Tragedy In Black

she once radiated innocence
she radiated light
she was the tree of purity,
growing in the decaying night

she met her prince that dark day
believing their love to eternal
until she seemed to loose herself
as the love consumed her

her light replaced by shadows, of her jealousy
the more her prince strayed
her obsession darkened

the shadows masked her sight
lost in the decaying night,
she could no longer turned back.
not knowing she was heading towards
her tragedy in black.

Hey Jemilla, I was thinking along the same lines for tragedy in black; thinking of her death in a black mercedes. Like what you did!
