Deep down
on the sharp ocean floor
where shells and corals rest,
there she kneels.
There's a hole in her heart with her mistress' reflection,
A cold and bitter woman craving revenge.
Because a man; he broke her heart
abandoned her without reason.
This broken girl kneeling in-front of her
shall be her avenger.
She holds a vessel in her hands,
His face is imprinted on it.
The vessel is to hold his ashes once he exhales his last breath.
An auger shell is placed by her
to suck his immortal life
Yes, everything has been planned
and yes, everything shall be carried out.
Celestia, is her name
This machined beauty
Created to carry out
The work of a black-hearted queen.
Celestia, is her name
The agent of the deep
Evil’s only retaliator.

Yes, this is what I could see in the picture, I looked really closely and I could see the two faces and...I don't know. Hehehe. This was one very challenging picture prompt and I thank you Kat for giving me the opportunity to write on it.
