Bloodstained Enamel
1. Anaemic

He wasn't sure what so enchanted him
but something did – that wild, obsessive gaze
that seemed to say she walked a puppet
somewhere else

And that was exactly what she did:
walked a puppet before his very eyes
and he was amazed by her faith,
her control

And that gaze that had let her spill blood
for her dream
even to its tragic end…

There just wasn't enough people like that
in the world.
