You keep asking if I want more – Yet how could I ever say yes?
ASHES4BONESYou keep asking if I want more – Yet how could I ever say yes?
ASHES4BONESHurricanes and airplanes, we fly higher than the end of time.
ASHES4BONESAnd if you only opened the window you’d see the morning light seep through.
ASHES4BONESSun rising slowly, frost hanging in the plush air; The skies are ablaze.
ASHES4BONESSwallowing the negative words rising up my throat; I am writing my days with smiles and laughter.
ASHES4BONESSouls are more than their bodies and bodies are more than their shapes.
ASHES4BONESYou can hit me and push me but you can’t quite beat me.
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.
ASHES4BONESSometimes I can’t believe I decided to heal even when I didn’t deserve it. Even when I did.
ASHES4BONESWe burn incandescent memories lungs aching with washed-out oxygen as if we weren’t to meet again.
ASHES4BONESIt’s as if the words were leaking from my veins, intravenous poison channeled to my heart.
ASHES4BONESYou are so lovable but so hard to love.
ASHES4BONESI find symmetry in the way our bodies lock curves to match every angle indecision for every smile.
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.
