Halloween Love Poem

Sabrina Young
Lonely wraith on tattered couch
Pen bleeding out wounds unfurled
Heart shattering without a sound
Fear the won pearl

Unseen among the oceans of souls
Desperate glances now ignored
Destroyed beauty once to behold
Pierced by hatred's swords

Walking forward with eyes turned back
Death the one true solace
Innocence forever attacked
Lost tranquility and peace

Ink blotting life's desires
Another scream trapped in her throat
Unable to quench hate's fires
Abandoned the once doted

So ends this disentangled web
So die this maidenhood
As life from her slowly ebbs
And hopes crumbled to soot
