Sacrifice

[Truerenigma]

Whoo. Great stuff. Some strange line and stanza breaks though.

Those breaks and 'ever so slowly' are there to represents and simulates the length of time for the 'sacrifice' to expire. Do you know who and/or what she is my friend?

I figured her for a.candle. originally I thought she was one of those prayer candle we light for the dead but I don't see support for that so I am sticking with candle. Maybe a storm knocked the power out?

I thought pyre and the title were enough support. And the asphyxiation alludes pretty strongly to death. The virgin reference may suggest a religious rite.
