cindersYou told me once that all the good little girls fall through the ashes.  
I asked you what you meant, but you disappeared before the words fell from my lips.   
So I waited for you, perched on a windowsill like a robin hiding from the rain. I waited in the sun that burst into the sky every morning and kissed the freckles on the children next door and looked at me with forlorn eyes. I waited with the moon that pooled starshine light against my skin and gave the shadows names that sounded like screams when I whispered them into my dark room. So I stopped speaking.   
I waited as the sky bled, first rain showers that sou cinders

ever after"I think I'll call you Eden," you said as we sat on an emerald hill beneath an empty sky, waiting for the stars to be placed inside their cradle.   
Then you handed me a piece of your ribs, all jagged and gleaming white. I pressed it against my tongue and told you that your bone marrow tasted like sugar.  
 
So we went back every night to smile into the dying day.   
I wrote poetry on your skin, white as paper. Syllables across your chest, metaphors along the smooth line of your hip. Your body became a story book, elegantly bound by your perfect spine.  
 
You showed me magic tricks and the crickets gav ever after

asunderThey say the word tragedy like it's something that can be escaped.   
Like it's the man handing out Bibles in the subway.  Small and green yet heavy in your hand. And you just have to step on the next train to ride away from him and think about how God could never fit inside pages so thin.   
Like it's a cold wind in the middle of July.  And you just have to wrap your arms around yourself to escape the bitter frost as you wait for it to pass. Even though you'd like to feel it bite your skin. But you shouldn't smile while everyone else is shivering, because people like to stare.   
Like it's the splinter asunder

There should be a link at the top of my profile page. I think deviant-watching someone is the same as befriending them.
Silly websites.
