You are so lovable but so hard to love.
ASHES4BONESYou are so lovable but so hard to love.
ASHES4BONESBound by rose thorns, pricked by love.
ASHES4BONESMaybe we’ll meet on the beach sand in our shoes, waves in our guts flowers blooming by some miracle because you always had the talent to make those happen.
ASHES4BONESLet the season’s aroma soak into your bones as gingerbread men come to life.
ASHES4BONESTrapped in a pothole, snow raining down my face I have to wonder will the sunshine come in time?
ASHES4BONESBlue dreams in ocean wading devotion I miss the waves of our healthy obsession.
ASHES4BONESI love it. The way you listen to my silence and find the words lost in impatience.
ASHES4BONESMoments passing evenings warning waves receding to everlasting tides.
ASHES4BONESHearts retch on homestretch where will we go?
ASHES4BONESWe burn incandescent memories lungs aching with washed-out oxygen as if we weren’t to meet again.
ASHES4BONESCracks in the glass words we couldn’t invite in yet had to break senseless.
ASHES4BONESGently you slither the arm around the one who got away.
ASHES4BONESSometimes I can’t believe I decided to heal even when I didn’t deserve it. Even when I did.
ASHES4BONESIt turns out the monster in you overshadowed the ghost of kindness I so believed in.
ASHES4BONESAs I feel your heart shatter like sand through my helpless fingers I envision ripples through the tar of your blood.
ASHES4BONESYou left flowers on my bedside as if I were my tomb clumsy words that don’t begin to heal my wounds “I’m sorry” scrawled on a post-it.
