Girl of Light

The Girl of Light could Live Forever
in sun and flower
water trickling off smooth
stone and leaves
in a world of fantasy.
As she went on, things were
the same
everyday joyous and
concentrated in love
the tree provided her shade
and she sat down to listen to it,
It told her that this was untrue,
and she should be grateful
to never have pain

she knew it wasn't right...
so she looked for death
with no avail
and cried into the darkness
lit by shining stars

finally she knew her destiny
as she engulfed the land in fire
and burnt with the lie and stay
silent
as she burned
into hell
The Girl of Light could Live Forever
