Valiant To Gloaming

They used to shine like crystals,
I didn't see how sharp the edges were,
Until my fingertip they cut.
But I remain valiant ,
Strong I once used to be,
And I stayed longer than most,
Until you were gloaming.
Led to me pathos,
My soul screamed melancholy,
What used to be forevermore,
Frosted so icy I remained trapped.
Unpredictable my predator was,
And once valiant woman,
Was turned gloaming.
Just like them.
And now weak I've become,
Yet to see the light again.
