Ruby Sky

Missing image
Intoxicated lips spew
bloodied butterfly-kisses,
venomous words scorching innocence;

Visceral sobs claw her throat,
screaming in foreign tongues,
desperate for escape.

Swallowing the heart's cry
for redemption,
anguish opens fire at last.

Bitter betrayal denies
this grieving soul
a final chance at hope.
