Darkness

There she lay between the tracks
reeked in wounds numb and cold
Her face streaked with blood
Her eyes shut with pain

Cameras flashed, sirens wailed
Shouts of agony, cries of pain
Hearts burned with pity, Spirit of
humanity let out a sigh.

The veil of eternity lifted and
she watched the darkness creeping
into her long loved dreams taking in
all its colours.

Slowly it crept into her chamber of hope
leaving it barren and empty
It intruded into her wailing heart and
extinguished the lamp of love.

She looked onto herself with searching
eyes for something to hold on
But all she could find was a scarred body and a ripped soul..
