she stood at a window sash
hand at throat
eyes aghast
soul stealing through the velvet night
hollow cries echoing
under sirens screaming shrill
raising the little hairs on her arms and neck

she lost her soul
she lost her self

hollow core
shallow grave to fill
collapsing inward imploding
weightless
...now on notes of sirens shrill
carried onward through the gates of hell

welcome to Passions, a hair rasiing read. especially loved the last verse.

where black will never meet white
so read my token lips
like they never exist"

I agree with all the above comments. Enjoyed this very much.

I can't control
my destiny
I trust my soul,
my only goal
is just to "be"
