She was born of the light
Nurtured with the purity of passion
Held by thin sheets of dense emotion
Protected in contentment that she herself brought
She was consumed within fire
Choked with smoke
Swallowed by melting tar
Scarred in places she could no longer touch
She was vanishing into oblivion
Dismembered with the hands of shadows
Butchered by the sound of hearts falling
Murdered in the wake of departed love
She was lost to the chill
Solidified with bitterness
Numbed by inexhaustible melancholy
Ignored in a world without winters
She began as spring
Then grew into summer
But after she was fall
She was forever winter
And expected to love again
