Paradox

Menacing music
Reminding
Reminding
Reminiscent of indignation
Imminent infernos
Unwelcome acid rain
Invading a living corpse
As she walks into the flames

Fingers trembling
Hesitation, lying faithful
To the girl, always
Cowardice
A constant companion
Deafening silence weaves its way into her mind
Silencing it
Provoking it
As the flames consume her

In the dead of the night
The Witching Hour
A girl is silent
Her hands entwined
Tangible
Tangible
To what cannot be
An evasive ever-present truth

Letting go
So easy, so simple
So natural
Rest in peace
As death cooed
Contentment, warmth, and fervour
Tempt her
Adulation whispers
As she turns to ash

An unjust action
A juvenile error
Haunting
Haunting
Never ceasing
Already dead
The ghostly glow
Slowly fading
Abruptly ablaze
Rapidly heating

Defiance has won her
Embellished with detriment
The lion lies dying
Her battle has been lost
But courage cannot lose
Instead, her thoughts align
Ever changing
Never changing
As the flames turn her to fire
