Facade
February 25, 2016
Crisp fallen petals
Wicks burning
The light of a thousand souls gone
Where are you now?
Looking through a rose colored glass
Sunlight and wind against your face
Consuming my soul
But it wasn’t enough
Shattered glass
Crimson puddles
It was all a façade
Flowers rotting
Smoke clouds devouring the air
Your smile could save a thousand souls
But not your own
