A bit of a collaboration with my fellow nightdweller @RichWithey
as her tears of red flow.
Withered petals
of amnesia surround her face
She's the effigy of beauty
distorted by her grace.
Her heart scorched
by the intensity of passion
An obsession that's
turned red into ashen.
Translucent skin
that withers by the riverside
A nameless headstone
where only the roses reside.
She weeps, grieving
longing to hear her name
And for the touch of a lover
she can never reclaim.
Her soul trapped
in this beautiful but dark place
A life taken whilst
wrapped in a lovers embrace.
A forgotten name
her body placed in the river
Her death marked
only by the snakes cold sliver.
Inspired by ? If you guess you get a gold star ;)
