singed- burnt lips, & beautiful.
I ran in the night & caught the
wind under my wings.
he called for me, breathless
cold faced & anticipating.
but i was too far away to hear.
whispering. with a mute grin, stumbling towards
the sound of waves.
every thing's blue, like your eyes
when they close.
the stars are burning out.
flickering
as you turn over. in your sleep.
you always turn over.
bleeding the dream out.
even without wings, i'll fly away.
even without wings,
i'll find you someday.
broken.the.enrapture
is this what you've worked so hard for?
maybe i wont. maybe i wont.
you cut & i stumble.
maybe i'll bleed the rest out.
close. my. eyes .x
FLASH TO:
blood splattered on the ceiling.
blush- like a thousand
pink doves ~fluttering across my cheek.
but you always turn over. /turn over.
& ...
i bleed from every wound.
i want to say {KISS ME}
:she's come undone: they say
every great story, has its tragedy.
muse
leaving shriveled memories
that turn to dust
and sparkle in the wind.
burning like _the sky.
clouds fluxing.
dangerous girl.
turning up the sheets like
the sea at storm.
& you asked me if i felt faint when i saw the blood.
lips gave me their last taste of blue
*
september falls with the last bitter minutes of twilight.
your eyes open. unblinking.
and i smile, while running through the darkened streets.
scattered puddles glowing silver, then black under my feet.
the hum of the world. numb hands.
i reached out to touch your face, before i left.
your mouth was cold.
your hair hung, like lace trim }I{ around you.
sand under your fingernails
& little flecks of blood.
your wrists looked red; burned. rope still hugging.
FLASH TO: running through the rain
FLASH TO:
red. seeping through the lines on my skin.
FLASH TO: the way my hair kept getting in my face.
FLASH TO: kissing you.
quiet.
kisses seem distant. maybe you're off thinking.
no more stars in your stare. and your dreams-
are dripping.
all over the floor.
whats that you say?
i cant hear you.
