Burn Out For Me
Disclaimer: Don't own Sailor Moon, or any of its characters, unfortunately.
A/N: I originally wrote this for a character of my own, but when I finished it, it reminded me so much of Sailor Saturn that I had to post it. I'm not a big poet; in fact I'm lucky if I can write one poem a year. But please let me know what you think anyway, even if it sucks. If it isn't as bad as I thought, maybe I'll be inspired to write more. Please, please review! And if you're Sailor Saturn fans, please also go read my one shot called Destroyer, Savior.
Flutter of a curtain
The icy wind streams in
The tiny flame in a lone candle
Sputters and is snuffed out
Its light extinguished
Shudder, shake, it will do no good
Nothing can save you, nothing can prevent it
There is naught to do
But wait in the darkness
She will find you
Crouch in the circle of lamplight
You cannot hide
Shivers twist down your spine
She approaches
Silence and death follow in her wake
A scythe in her hand
Features of an innocent youth
Light or dark
Angel or demon?
Only she can say
Luminous amethyst eyes
Penetrating and piercing
They see right through you
There is no escaping her
She has come to guide you to the end
She draws nearer, silent as the night
There will be no more warmth
Light will diminish
Life will be no more
Darkness will reign
Ebony hair swings forward as she kneels
Sorrow, death, and resurrection
Reflected in her fathomless eyes
Her whispered words nearly lost in the wind
Burn out for me. . .
