Hiding behind a dark veil,
The tears she cries are stark black.
Her body is marked with scars
From the monster inside.
Her soul is as cold as ice,
But her heart still burns bright,
But she still wanted to give up.
She was corrupt by the voices,
Forcing her to scream and shout,
But nothing comes out.
She was being eaten alive
By the darkness; it consumed her.
Day after day,
Minute after minute,
Second after second,
Her heart grew dim.
The light was slowly burning out.
She started to fade into a shade of gray.
Then she was gone.
Nothing left
But a coat of dust.
Fighting A Battle
When She Fades
