Bound by rose thorns, pricked by love.
ASHES4BONESBound by rose thorns, pricked by love.
ASHES4BONESAs I feel your heart shatter like sand through my helpless fingers I envision ripples through the tar of your blood.
ASHES4BONESAnd if you only opened the window you’d see the morning light seep through.
ASHES4BONESHurricanes and airplanes, we fly higher than the end of time.
ASHES4BONESI don’t believe in love at first sight; only now I realize that you did.
ASHES4BONESMoments passing evenings warning waves receding to everlasting tides.
ASHES4BONESWe burn incandescent memories lungs aching with washed-out oxygen as if we weren’t to meet again.
ASHES4BONESGrace juice dripping from your chin you lick your lips basking in the tremors of my shoulders.
ASHES4BONESTrapped in a pothole, snow raining down my face I have to wonder will the sunshine come in time?
ASHES4BONESSometimes I can’t believe I decided to heal even when I didn’t deserve it. Even when I did.
ASHES4BONESI lay awake thinking about how none of it had to happen for me to get to this point; and how I’m glad I got there, anyway.
ASHES4BONESYou are what you want, Do you want who you are?
ASHES4BONESToday I woke up in fear. Tomorrow I wake up in pain. Still, in a year I will wake up in vain.
ASHES4BONESIt’s just me and my mangled limbs your touch soothing but unconvincing singsong whispers of lives unlived.
ASHES4BONESYou can hit me and push me but you can’t quite beat me.
ASHES4BONESBe the root of my passion; young love, just you and me.
ASHES4BONES
