Girl of shadow. Girl of stone. When will you cease hiding amongst the clutter of words? You’ve turned into a pillar of salt scattered by the wind a whisper dissolved in the great blue sea -- an infinite expanse Never lost when playing the game of hide and seek. You are always singing, always singing. In the still silence of night, you are a siren hungering for her next meal, for the soft spongy heart of the man who sought to be your champion. Do you deserve salvation or damnation, an eternity repeating day after day, your echoes haunting the crested ridges and valleys of the earth, your feet sinking into the silent sands of beaches, hunted by your hunger.

Girl of shadow. Girl of stone. When will you cease hiding amongst the clutter of words? You’ve turned into a pillar of salt scattered by the wind a whisper dissolved in the great blue sea -- an infinite expanse Never lost when playing the game of hide and seek. You are always singing, always singing. In the still silence of night, you are a siren hungering for her next meal, for the soft spongy heart of the man who sought to be your champion. Do you deserve salvation or damnation, an eternity repeating day after day, your echoes haunting the crested ridges and valleys of the earth, your feet sinking into the silent sands of beaches, hunted by your hunger.
