christmas night of 2009
the only girl had a big family
but a cursed bloodlineshe danced around the living room
her face highlighted by the moon
but when she stepped on the grass
and went to the yard, she found a hourglass
instead of moving, the sand was disappearing
with a hollow sound that no one was hearingscared with the loss of time,
she went back inside
but where once there were people
now there was a demonwhere were the ones who loved her?
the time ended, they whispered
in a blur she saw their lives
pass through her eyes like archivesthe demon didn’t say a thing,
for he knew the girl was the next,
she had always been hexed
but he didn’t know something:
it is sufferable being always tired
and dying was everything she desired
