a beautiful death

She sat by the candle light

she sat looking out into the night

a thousand stars, a million lights,

"oh why, oh why are they so bright?

I'm jealous, I'm envious...why do they shine so?

why can't I be like that..why can't I be someone I'll be proud of?"

she sat looking in, looking into her soul..

her eyes, hard and red like burning coals...

even as her hand dripped crimson blood all over the carpet...

farther beyond, the division bells tolled...
