Twilight

Twilight
Is made of paints
Splashed across heaven's crown.
But the crown is full of thorns 
And dusk gives way to all the cries.
Cries
Of pain
When you wake up and no longer have a sister.
Cries 
Of hunger
When you're so hungry you would do anything.
Cries 
Of silence
When you are below empty and life means nothing.
Cries
Of laughter
From those who have everything except love.

I am crying
Aquamarine tears falling down my face
Turning into a puddle of blood at my feet,
To honor
My sisters
Brothers
Fathers
Mothers
Aunts
Uncles
Cousins
Friends
Who will never come home again.
It is a cruel and twisted world we live in.
