her auburn curls
those hazel eyes
so very mesmerizing
they swore she was the one
on one cold winter night
back in December

they cradled her
and embraced her fragile body
but one thing left
they never remembered to do;
embrace her self

today was her sixteenth birthday
she blew the candles
everyone applauded
but one thing no-one did;
caution against the dark one

for tonight
the screaming demons
from inside her pale skin
they will be released
hell on earth
its existence will be more than
fractures of an imagination

whilst they immersed
people cheered
and laughed
till with a pull of the trigger
all's left the deafening silence
of a forgotten happiness
