break-up nonet challenge

The fire consumed, there was no defence.

Superficial flames grew intense.

I could never stand pretence.

Lies served to cinderise.

All of the beauty

that once glittered

in your eyes?

Simply

died.

    Oooh yes Kayleigh! Cinderise! What an excellent word!

    You did this so well! It's always a turning point when you no longer see someone in the same light. Bittersweet, but almost a relief in the midst of a breakup ❤️

    Like Dharrsheena I loved the cinderise line. Very deftly done!

  • Oooo, lies served to cinderise, I especially loved that! You executed this so brilliantly!
