Shreds of Glass

Her heart is shreds of glass
Beaten and crushed
Now she struggles to hang upon
Those sharp-edged shreds of Life
Dangling, above the City of Death

The Dead beneath lift their hands
Of shredded flesh and eternal bloods
Stench fuming, grasping upwards
To seize her and make her their own
The Devil hisses among their moans

Shreds of glass slash through her soul
And tears from her blinded eyes burn
On her melting flesh under the scorching sun
Fresh drops of blood trickle down her wounds
Dripping onto the jeering Dead below

She screams the scream of
Great Pain and Greater Fear
The citizens of the world hear none
They too, are dangling and falling
Into the City of Death
