Crimson Jade

Flew too close to the sun,
Played too much in the puddles of rain.
This is my place
   Now.
The fog and darkness that creeps in
   After.

Dense nothingness passing through me.

The things that really matter
   I cannot have--
It only takes two
   To start a family--
Things I threw away.

They never said
   I'd end up like this
Broken, alone, all so cold.
