&quot;My candle burns at both ends, it will not last the night. But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends, it gives a lovely light.&quot;<br /> ~Edna St. Vincent Millay

Broken smiles
Tears stream from pools
Blood-drenched fists on stone
Torn limbs fall with heaviness
Body upon body

Splintered virtue
Honor tainted with black
Hearts cleaved by deceit
Closed eyes struggle to breath
Day after day

Piercing cries
Skies filled with flame
Dark souls crash through the light
Charred minds blinded by anger
Winded and gone.
