Requiem

A Story by Samantha ~virginpoet

Tempest soul bound to this world by Passion and pain
Not quite alive yet not quite dead
She is somewhere in between
Her origins are unknown
Her purpose is undetermined
She just wanders struggling to find her place

Her heart abandoned her long ago


She carries a jar with her

Filled to the tip
with the hearts of those
she encounters
And it never spills

Some say she is a demon

Put here to torture the hearts of those
Foolish enough to let her close
Others say its a trophy
To gloat about the hearts she has seduced

Truth is she can't help it

The hearts are attracted to her

Her allure is too strong for them
She was reluctant at first resistant
Now she needs them to survive
To feel anything

She is blindfolded as she scowers the scorched earth

Perhaps to hide her dangerous eyes
Perhaps so she can't see where she is going

No


It is so she can't see where she came from
So she won't see the path of ruin in which she caused

Streams fall from her hidden eyes

As she tends to her wounded heart
Trying to find one that will fit
To make her whole again

Her search seems endless

How can you replace something irreplaceable

Another victim's heart stolen

Another added to the collection
Another tear to fall

Hope is what courses her veins
A hope to find her heart
So she can relinquish those she's held captive
So she can stop walking on broken souls

A hope that will be her personal prison

A ghost singing the requiem for her former self

Oh my goodness, your picture for this is very stand outish! It adds flavor to your ingredients for you to be able to cook the whole meal of wording.

beautiful and compelling story. To me it seems that it just needs a little more imagery.
