Ashes to Ashes: a tale of two short-lived vampires
She’s always feared (loved) fire.
Fire burns (warms). Fire destroys (brightens). Fire kills (gives life).
It’s only natural to fear (love) it.
But now she can’t be killed - she’s already dead. (But now she can’t be warmed - she’s so cold).
And now she can’t be destroyed - she’s destroyed so much. (And now she can’t stand the light - she’s hidden in the dark).
Now they reach out to touch the flame.
++++++++++++++++++++++
There’s no heat, only burning. There’s no light, only destruction. There’s no life (but there never was).
Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust.
Nothing left but the scent of smoke.
