Today I woke up in fear. Tomorrow I wake up in pain. Still, in a year I will wake up in vain.
ASHES4BONESToday I woke up in fear. Tomorrow I wake up in pain. Still, in a year I will wake up in vain.
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?
ASHES4BONESGently you slither the arm around the one who got away.
ASHES4BONESI find symmetry in the way our bodies lock curves to match every angle indecision for every smile.
ASHES4BONESYou keep asking if I want more – Yet how could I ever say yes?
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.
ASHES4BONESBe the root of my passion; young love, just you and me.
ASHES4BONESSometimes I can’t believe I decided to heal even when I didn’t deserve it. Even when I did.
ASHES4BONESAnd if you only opened the window you’d see the morning light seep through.
ASHES4BONESAs I feel your heart shatter like sand through my helpless fingers I envision ripples through the tar of your blood.
ASHES4BONESLet the season’s aroma soak into your bones as gingerbread men come to life.
ASHES4BONESThe sky is on fire I am, too cigarette burns on my faded tattoo.
ASHES4BONESYou can hit me and push me but you can’t quite beat me.
ASHES4BONESWe burn incandescent memories lungs aching with washed-out oxygen as if we weren’t to meet again.
ASHES4BONESSwallowing the negative words rising up my throat; I am writing my days with smiles and laughter.
