&ldquo;And I knew her soul wasn&rsquo;t something to take lightly. In a world where very little truth existed, her soul was a pariah, standing alone burning like a wildfire in my bones&ndash; a flaming crescent across pale midnight skies.&rdquo;<br /> &mdash; <br /> Christopher Poindexter

The lightning cracked the sky open,

As if it was slitting its own wrists.

And moments later,

The blood rained down upon us,

Drenching us in our own sins.
