She Did Ignite

"She Did Ignite"
I see a face
Or is it three
Upon a vase
Tongues out at me

I see a face
Atop a skull
With ghastly skin
So tightly pulled

Lit up in flames
Her gown alight
Just like the night
She did ignite

She visits me
Tucks me in bed
Then disappears
Because she's dead

But in my soul
I know she's there
With silvery
Green wraps of hair

Illuminates
My soul alight
Just like the night
She did ignite
