And if you only opened the window you’d see the morning light seep through.
ASHES4BONESAnd if you only opened the window you’d see the morning light seep through.
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.
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.
ASHES4BONESYou are what you want, Do you want who you are?
ASHES4BONESIt turns out the monster in you overshadowed the ghost of kindness I so believed in.
ASHES4BONESIt’s as if the words were leaking from my veins, intravenous poison channeled to my heart.
ASHES4BONESGrace juice dripping from your chin you lick your lips basking in the tremors of my shoulders.
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.
ASHES4BONESCracks in the glass words we couldn’t invite in yet had to break senseless.
ASHES4BONESAnd I’ll never try to figure you out; You aren’t a puzzle to be solved and set aside.
ASHES4BONESLet the season’s aroma soak into your bones as gingerbread men come to life.
ASHES4BONESBound by rose thorns, pricked by love.
ASHES4BONESI find symmetry in the way our bodies lock curves to match every angle indecision for every smile.
ASHES4BONESYou are so lovable but so hard to love.
ASHES4BONESBlue dreams in ocean wading devotion I miss the waves of our healthy obsession.
ASHES4BONESIt’s just me and my mangled limbs your touch soothing but unconvincing singsong whispers of lives unlived.
