Scarlet Stains [Acrostic]

by HOLLYWOODxBANGBANG   Sep 10, 2007


Standing on the edge of the earth, her
Chest rises and falls with each and every
Anguished breath she takes. "Hold...and...
Release..." She mutters as she stands,
Letting the wind throw her silhouette
Elegantly against the naked skyline --
Tattered wings falling apart at the seams.

She opens her eyes and looks down
Toward the scarlet stains set
Against her pale ashen skin --
Igniting the flame burning in her eyes,
Nervously, she steps one foot over;
Slowly falling -- they won`t hurt her anymore.

Acrostic Poetry is where the first letter of each line spells a word, usually using the same words as in the title.
