She craved for you
She W h i s p e r e d  for you in the DARK
Her heart MuRmUrEd for your love
She wished for a kiss from you
You were a beautiful stranger to her
A cold, uncommon, intense stranger
You were a thousand times rare
You delivered love gracefully
Yet you were death.

The author's comments:

I wrote this piece because I've had a relationship with someone who I thought was different but turned out to be nowhere near who I thought they were. They were bad for me and I couldnt go on with them any longer.
