Analysis of An Unfortunate Tale
She was a glimmering beam of light
And though she was tattered and destroyed,
Never frozen, her last breath remained.
Through the thicket and vile whip of vines,
Her pride was never shattered
The day of her demise was soon to come.
Her strength stretched upon the valley, the sky, and moon
But his was of the universe, every impenetrable nook and cranny.
The goddess of Angels was she, and a sinner was he
An evil doer, a catalyst of destruction.
Though one would dream of the splendor and opulence of her grace,
That was not so.
His poison drove cracks deep into her orb
Forever broken, she stills
His deadly kiss
And her lethal deception
For he, her killer
Had been the true victim.
