Blue dreams in ocean wading devotion I miss the waves of our healthy obsession.
ASHES4BONESBlue dreams in ocean wading devotion I miss the waves of our healthy obsession.
ASHES4BONESIt turns out the monster in you overshadowed the ghost of kindness I so believed in.
ASHES4BONESAnd I’ll never try to figure you out; You aren’t a puzzle to be solved and set aside.
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.
ASHES4BONESIt’s just me and my mangled limbs your touch soothing but unconvincing singsong whispers of lives unlived.
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.
ASHES4BONESSun rising slowly, frost hanging in the plush air; The skies are ablaze.
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.
ASHES4BONESI don’t believe in love at first sight; only now I realize that you did.
ASHES4BONESIt’s funny how things can be so temporarily permanent.
ASHES4BONESGrace juice dripping from your chin you lick your lips basking in the tremors of my shoulders.
ASHES4BONESLet the season’s aroma soak into your bones as gingerbread men come to life.
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.
ASHES4BONESAnd if you only opened the window you’d see the morning light seep through.
ASHES4BONESWe burn incandescent memories lungs aching with washed-out oxygen as if we weren’t to meet again.
ASHES4BONESToday I woke up in fear. Tomorrow I wake up in pain. Still, in a year I will wake up in vain.
