Got on a kick with Rain and wrote this. Thanks again to Alicia for giving such insight in to a rather "interesting" character, All the Saints in Heaven is one of THE most incredible works you have ever written.( Of course, all of your works are incredible to begin with ;) Feedback is food for a writer( or poet) So FEED the writer.
And She Sits
by Riana
And she sits in half-light,
combing red
hair
strands of silken fire, of spilled blood
and smiling
softly
singing to herself
a tune half-forgotten.
She closes her eyes
and
for a moment dreams
of a child's laughter,
screams
a lover's
touch,
betrayal
hopes of happiness,
bitter disillusion
and she
opens her eyes
and sees nothing but the darkness staring
back.
