Maleficent


Picture of my red eye.

“Even when quite a child I felt two conflicting sensations in my heart:
the horror of life and the ecstasy of life.”
- Charles Baudelaire, Intimate Journals


I look to the crimson of the crackling fire,
and feel the warmth of the acid rain,
the way it makes me feel so dire,
but helps me forget the pain.
My skin begins to split under the heat,
and my eyes water from the sting,
I quiver as I fall to the hot pavement,
for this life is a beautiful thing.
