Firelight flickers off ruined visage

Horror and hope reflected in mismatched eyes

"Christine, I love you"

A whisper into the warm embrace of night

Ghostly, spider like hands reaching outward

Pale yellow band glistens in the palm of angel's hand

"Christine"

The melodic voice trails away turns from this beauty from garish light

Soft blue eyes stop him with surprise

As a delicate accent whispers

"I love you angel of the night"

Small hands reach up to touch the ethereal flesh

The band now upon a finger

Resplendent in its meaning

As it works its way down his cheek

Love truly apparent in her gaze

All is forgiven for now

As soft lips meet tentatively

Two sets of tears fall into the fire

Swallowed up consumed by flame

Like the hearts that beat within

Joyful breasts

New beginnings are upon them

Stretched out within eternity

The angel and the sinner

Together as all should be
