his words were intoxicating;
sweet but bitter
his voice was terrifyingly lovely
and he was breathtaking
quite literally did he
take my breath away

I’ve walked through the
Burning flames of disappointment
Flames STING Seeping through my skin
Sore souls heal from the verdict of me

Piece by piece
I turn into ASH
Eventually all I am is
Dark, Black, Disintegrated ASH

the child with her head in the clouds
came to be the one who was
grounded the most
