Before she awakes as a rose

Episode 18

Not many decades before I awake as a blind crow guarding her fragile existence as a rose, she was a living rose with her fragrant skin hidden in the cloths of a young maiden. As innocent and beautiful as she was … she was tracked by who ever loves owning the raw diamond and sharpening her with pain to sell her with the highest price till it’s worn out and dimmed again with dirt of greedy desires of men, and belittled by helplessness of envious and jealous worn out women no different from glass looking like diamond. She was caught within her mind thinking her nature as a rose was a curse not knowing greed is the real curse, with her noble nature she thought of her beauty as a sin she must rid. She could rid it in every man’s lair taking piece of her raw diamond and leave her the least he can pay, but she could never see the shining diamond again. When I came back to the village I was told Lenore is on a rocking chair before the fireplace counting down the breaths she takes till the last one comes. When I made it to her place she was worn out and her virgin eyes that I missed were no longer there, but the eyes blaming time for taking all and leaving nothing but a phrase I have seen in them, “I will meet you on the other side, and as a rose I will wake”
