She was a sign. A fire of purification Yet she was the enticer of my temptation She was an angel. Pure on intentions Yet she carried the scythe for my damnation She was wrath. A ravaging storm Mother Nature?s hand of doom She was death. Her certain strike Was bliss, a single touch over me She was a poem written with flesh She was a tear shed by the eyes of God She was torn from this cruel world Her beauty was slaughtered by those Who could not comprehend Bear witness to the death you brought This is death in my arms, like blood in your hands The very eyes from where she came forsaken her Her light ended. In that moment so did mine. You tore her from me. Is this punishment? I loved her then. I love her still You have taken her. Without judgement. So, as mine, your fate is sealed Her flaws were as perfect as her virtues She was a flower with thorns. Every detail was of untainted precision She was singular in everything. Bear witness to the death you brought As I witness your leaving for the life you took
