She gazed as the sun retreated Behind the distant mountains Revived scars, her will power defeated Little, if not none, remains The steam rises up hugging her frame Highlighting distanced, painful, memories Door locked in fear and shame But it won’t keep out her worst enemies Trying to affirm that she could Grabbing the knife with vitality Crying an ominous red flood The river of the misunderstood Her intentions are altruistic In her mind it's the sane option Sadness that defies mystic Impotent to endure the internal corruption Not a matter of Life and Death Like a star she's already gone Sempiternal and bereft Promise-less like a ghost of the dawn One last breath she immerses herself in the water It's not suicide it's exhumation The minimal butterfly paid homage at the alter Not her swan song but a ballad of elation

Lost In Steam
She gazed as the sun retreated Behind the distant mountains Revived scars, her will power defeated Little, if not none, remains The steam rises up hugging her frame Highlighting distanced, painful, memories Door locked in fear and shame But it won’t keep out her worst enemies Trying to affirm that she could Grabbing the knife with vitality Crying an ominous red flood The river of the misunderstood Her intentions are altruistic In her mind it's the sane option Sadness that defies mystic Impotent to endure the internal corruption Not a matter of Life and Death Like a star she's already gone Sempiternal and bereft Promise-less like a ghost of the dawn One last breath she immerses herself in the water It's not suicide it's exhumation The minimal butterfly paid homage at the alter Not her swan song but a ballad of elation
