You can hit me and push me but you can’t quite beat me.
ASHES4BONESYou can hit me and push me but you can’t quite beat me.
ASHES4BONESToday I woke up in fear. Tomorrow I wake up in pain. Still, in a year I will wake up in vain.
ASHES4BONESHurricanes and airplanes, we fly higher than the end of time.
ASHES4BONESSouls are more than their bodies and bodies are more than their shapes.
ASHES4BONESGently you slither the arm around the one who got away.
ASHES4BONESIt’s funny how things can be so temporarily permanent.
ASHES4BONESI don’t believe in love at first sight; only now I realize that you did.
ASHES4BONESEveryone says the door is open with a smile until the door is not opened and the house collapses and they finally realize why they needed a door in the first place.
ASHES4BONESMoments passing evenings warning waves receding to everlasting tides.
ASHES4BONESIt’s as if the words were leaking from my veins, intravenous poison channeled to my heart.
ASHES4BONESAnd if you only opened the window you’d see the morning light seep through.
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.
ASHES4BONESAs I feel your heart shatter like sand through my helpless fingers I envision ripples through the tar of your blood.
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.
ASHES4BONESAnd I’ll never try to figure you out; You aren’t a puzzle to be solved and set aside.
ASHES4BONESIt’s just me and my mangled limbs your touch soothing but unconvincing singsong whispers of lives unlived.
ASHES4BONES
