Burned By Her by Kristi Kirby

Woman that I
Loved
Clutching heart
Moon shining
And bathing on my
Face
Filling me with
Silver light
My sapphire eyes
Begin to burn with
Fire
Burned by long
Hours of
Crying
Bittersweet smiles of
Her
Held the memory
Heart gets heavy
I’m no longer your
Slave
I said
Jumping up
Thinking for a
Moment
Toss diamonds to
The sky
I chuckled
I am a something
A firestorm
A starter
Indulged in my
Gifts
Just another test
Burning in flames
Now
Feral grin
A warrior heart
Is released
Beating to the
Speed of
Butterfly
Wings.
