The night falls in a heavy, suffocating cloak- lost was she..
The light for which she prayed, flared once,
than died,devoured by the all encompassing dark.
All hope had surely perished-
her heart beats no more..

For the one she loved had deceived her trust
and murdered what dignity she had.
How could she face the world with the knowledge
of how foolish she had been?
When time had lapsed and life was red;
all that she had cherished, crumbled at her feet.

She walked through the ruins of what used to be her essence.
She searched for a slight of hope through the dissipated rubble-
Only to find more deceit and betrayal buried beneath.
"For of course I lost the battle," She cried.
"I had not even known about the the war!"
She fell to the floor and clenched her heart
Trying to keep it from falling apart
She knows by heart those enslaving lips
And the way they had danced along her hips
No one had told her what it would take
No one had warned her of this beastly ache
She was lost in a world where nobody cared
She was lost in a world so lonely and scared
If only they knew how long she had cried
If only they knew now much she had died
What she would give to not have any feelings at all
She expected to stumble but never to fall.
She thought of the men she loved the men she slew
"But none of them," she whispered "could compare to you.
For Lucy
