Useless guards
House of cards
Shattered shards
A knife's edge
An unholy pledge
Darkness cloaks
A pyre smokes
Whispers townsfolk
Words broken
Lost token
Puzzle pieces
Fragmented fleeces
Society's rejection
Mirror reflection
Ugly imperfection
Mementos of the moors
Thunder overtures
The lady weeps
A pale moon keeps
Sorrow reaps
A dream shades
The menagerie fades
