A girl in black and a white rose,

A girl in black and a white rose,

The two connected as one soul

Those olive eyes fixed on the flower,

Observing the divided power


The glass vase reflected the inner shadow,

Of the girl with skin as pale as snow

Unlike her skin,

 The smoke inside her was dark and obscure,

Her heart was now the mist's moor


Came a vision of the girl being abandoned during a storm,

The white petal shook and weakened at the end

The poor girl was ignored the day she was born,

The petal wilted and fell,

As if it was something it couldn't comprehend


The girl shuddered as another memory came to mind,

A horrific scene of a woman tormenting her as she cried

Another petal twitched,

Her green eyes glared

At the darkened petal, the smoke had devoured


The plant itself shed its leaves,

As those eyes saw another scene

The girl ran through a forest,

With clothes as rugged as the thorns themselves,

And skin like ice with deep cracks

She came across a black tomb and never looked back


All petals fell and gave their lives to the mist of grief,

The girl blinked and stared in disbelief

The smoke rose and grew more,

Her shrieks were silenced by the clouds of darkness the tomb bore


Her heart was now a  hard piece of obsidian, so tattered

The last sound that came from the dreaded tomb,

Was the glass vase that finally shattered.
