The lush green leaves Fall One By One Burned by the heat of the Sun Scorched by her tirades The dewy green turned steam Replaced by shriveled brown Devoid of life Under her heated gaze The beauty she craved Nay, nurtured Destroyed by the fire of who she is The trunk lies bare Sticks into earthen crust Reminders Of what once was What was pure What was perfection What will never be

Meus Eternus Inculta (my eternal wasteland)
The lush green leaves Fall One By One Burned by the heat of the Sun Scorched by her tirades The dewy green turned steam Replaced by shriveled brown Devoid of life Under her heated gaze The beauty she craved Nay, nurtured Destroyed by the fire of who she is The trunk lies bare Sticks into earthen crust Reminders Of what once was What was pure What was perfection What will never be
7215 searching around corners, looking at the stagnant walls, feeling the absence in my sanctuary, perhaps I too shall flee, to fly into infinity ad finem
