You 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.
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.
ASHES4BONESAnd I’ll never try to figure you out; You aren’t a puzzle to be solved and set aside.
ASHES4BONESWe burn incandescent memories lungs aching with washed-out oxygen as if we weren’t to meet again.
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.
ASHES4BONESHearts retch on homestretch where will we go?
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.
ASHES4BONESLet the season’s aroma soak into your bones as gingerbread men come to life.
ASHES4BONESYou can hit me and push me but you can’t quite beat me.
ASHES4BONESSun rising slowly, frost hanging in the plush air; The skies are ablaze.
ASHES4BONESGrace juice dripping from your chin you lick your lips basking in the tremors of my shoulders.
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?
ASHES4BONESMoments passing evenings warning waves receding to everlasting tides.
ASHES4BONESShe greets death with a curtsy.
ASHES4BONESSwallowing the negative words rising up my throat; I am writing my days with smiles and laughter.
