~Solitude Of A Shade~

 

She slipped like a breeze
below a threshold,
just a shiver upon chandeliers
hung in forbidding halls,

hoping the prisms
wouldn’t refract her paleness,

or blind her with company.


She could exist on a sigh
wrapped in self pity
and never miss the colours
of her dreams,

so long as ice remained opaque.
