Isn\u2019t there some way to change what<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve already said?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Isn\u2019t there a chance to fix<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What we\u2019ve burnt to ash?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A charred hole lies in the center of<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her chest<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A cannon of once great ambition<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of enough confidence to fly
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her metropolis<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once so spacious and bustling<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Has shrunk<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And somehow<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It begins to rain
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She smiles<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They all ask<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pleading
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She was destined to burn out<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But she\u2019d always known that
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pointed teeth<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sharp nails<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She could have been grace<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or beauty<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But she was only a match<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And she started an inferno<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(She knew she wouldn’t last<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it was all worth it)
