THE BURNING OF LITERATURE.//

A red tear slowly slips down her cheek
As she looks to see a heartless freak
Who's burning her quotes, her poems, her stories
All that was left was awfully gory
The ashes lay on the tear stained ground
The pages all burnt into a pitch black mound
She falls to the ground with grief and sorrow
Not wanting to live another day, another tomorrow
She grabs a handful of ashes and rubs it in her hands
Staining her palm to make it as black as she can
Using her tears, she cleaned her palm
Even though, not all, was calm
The arsonist laughed hysterically with joy
And kicked the ashes like a useless toy
He slammed the door behind him as quick as he can
Leaving the girl alone because that was his plan
Then she found a pencil that rolled on the floor.
She picked it up hoping to find more
Then an object floated towards the girl
It was a piece of paper in a curl
She grabbed her treasures and began to write
About this frightful day and frightful night.
Enjoy the horrible rhyming ahahaha
