Angeline.
Coral pink
frail
yet filled with light.
With a stronger backdrop
of warm mahogany.
Porcelain doll.
Sheltered.
Placed out of harm
on a high shelf
Little china doll
What happens when you shatter?
Foaly.
Light blue,
Covered by tempered steel.
A light,
Longing to shine.
Shine!
Light up the darkness.
Before it can engulf you.
Opal.
A precious gem.
Once so bright a red.
Now darkened.
Distorted.
A broken glass.
Irreparable.
Were you always that way, Opal?
Stained so dark?
Blood red.
Bloodstains.
They never wash out.
Herald of death.
Dwindle.
Fade.
