Crows Heart

A Scavengers Secret (An acrostic entry into Poppy’s Prompt #9 and the silence challenge)

By Kenneth cruzPublished 2 years ago Updated 2 years ago 1 min read

Silent sin fractured my heart

I watched our candle as it burned, and melted away

Like a feather falling slow

Exposed you as a scavenger, your heart dark as a crow

Nearly depleted, I had to do the unthinkable and let go

Cowardice or survival, I do not know

Escape was my final ace, for with you I melted away like snow.
