The Faded Smile

She was the epitome of love and kindness,

Who knew to smile,

Even when her soul was brutally killed. 

She kept her calm,

Holding the thin rope of hope,

But was she so strong,

That she became target,

Of devils known so far;

She cried till late nights,

And with swollen eyes,

She still managed to show her dazzling smile. 

Even the demons were scared,

To see her standing so strong,

And fighting so hard. 

Though whilst the last of her breaths,

She tried giving a satiated smile,

That she was contented with her life's loss. 

But when her sarcophagus was lowered in the ground,

The devil had a whim,

To let her live,

But she was gone, long gone,

With no regrets about the impending war...
