a flash in the dark
and she felt un-beautiful
pale and flaking
making
out nothing shadows
had those
shadows
meant something
she wouldn't be there
she would be long gone
instead she felt un-beautiful
under the
gleaming cold stars,
she wished she hadn't sacrificed half
of her former self
for a self that
was now divided,
being divided,
overrided
the qualities she once
possessed,
such as being whole and wholly in control
of her own self
time dissolved
fading numbers
letters embossed
in dirt
