Arsenic Flavored Bubblegum Erica Michelle Myers

A collection of poetry woven together within the story of little Daffodil, a wilting memory, running throughout the plains of hell, desperate to escape from herself. Carols poisoned the air, flickering lights drowned out the night. Words of cheer and forced pleasantries radiated a false promise that everything would be alright. Alone she sat. Surrounded by relics that sung of the horrors she'd kill to forget. She could see no future, her heart lived in the past. Every breath caused pain, she was ready for the last. Death comes without repentance; demons will collect the toll. But once the mind has forgotten, what becomes of the soul?
