The woods distorted our
reality and footed dusty trails muddled the way. Passioned trees undiscovered.
Sneaking through the bushes like fleas fleeting. Cruel, smart hidden insects. Moving
beyond rock beds into graveyards. Old metal molded, fearless dark, absent sun.
Conquered woods play away from rigid home, a place of protection enclosing the
imagination expanding the closeness between us. We were then children, we are
still now. Footprints remain in the woods…
I meant it not this way but the tears just flow and my makeup smearing all the more, leaving behind that familiar filthy residue. I may have begun to drive myself away, dragging you down as well. But it's done, I've flipped the switch and now it's dark once more. How painful is the music to my ears, I can't stand to be alone in it, yet here I am again. I pray you fly back and safely and warmly to me, though I fear I've dug the grave too deeply. As the dirt shifts within my soul, I choke on those loving words I'd meant for you. All the fragments of light I see becoming smaller and I wish to be near you in your embrace that might make me feel the warmth I'm missing. And in reality, I doubt I'd breathe another breath without you. So come hither and quickly soothe my dying heart, you are the only cure I know. I cry and cry again, come hither to heal and love me. Come hither and help me dry my tears.
