Her eyes shimmered
As tears struck lines
Through the dirt upon her cheeks
With each blow she felt life weaken
Strike after strife
She fell to the sand
The glorious sun became blotted
As shadows filled the land
Broken and battered
She clung to the dirt
Clenching her teeth
As blood sprang forth
Her resolve had no match
In this world or the next
So she let the shadows take her
Her beautiful eyes oh so vexed
To the earth she gave her body
To the heavens her soul
She wore her dignity in blood
But her spirit they never stole
