Lonely 
And lowered-
Laid to rest 
Before she really
Got an opportunity
To experience 
What makes life so
Beautiful 

She passed
Without knowing
How reciprocated love
Could fetch a soul 
From the depths of dense
Sorrow 

Before being able
To rest her curly head
On his bony shoulder
And cry
Or laugh
Or waltz
Or fall 
In an embrace

She never knew

How his scared eyes
Wanted to be saved
Yet ran away
And it caused her
To lay
Herself down
And crumble in the wake
Of her mistakes

Sobbing 
In bed 
Nights before her
Untimely death 
And she holds no blame 
For the boy that
Fled from her flame 

They were both burnt
But only she
Slept
In the
Fire
