Ascendance
She stood at the edge of the cliff
Tears in her eyes and slits in her wrist
Wondering if she would be missed
She stops the thought as fast as it came
And let the darkness take over once again
The fire starts from her chest and towards the moon lit sky
What a beautiful night to die
No more pain, no more lies
No more shame, no need for a disguise
Her body goes numb
But the burn she feels is that of a thousand suns
In death she never felt more alive
With her last breath she dives into the sky
