Megan
The strong one
Her breath
Gasping vapors
Of frost
Stared at the stain
A starless black blanket
Tarnished
By the spill of
Iceberg white death
Horrified
Frigid ocean waters
Swallowing
A gulp at a time
Titanic dreams of
Megan
The strong one
Her prayers
Floating lifeboats
In still life
Stared at the stain
Sailing away
Absorbed
By the starless
Black blanket
Horrified
Cries silenced
Souls froze
By the absence
Of more lifeboats
