my breaths bloom white roses
that wither when their fingertips
meet my lips
its thorns scraping my skin
they are more jaded
than a sigh
my skin is more faded than the
windows washed with rain
but not faded enough for me
to wash like
waves against the beaches of
cerulean abluvion


my stepmother's voice rings in my ears
and together with my demons
they chant a chorus from hell


together, my stepmother
and me, we watched on
the edge of the cliff as i fell




the rain slips down the window panes...
the rain slips down the window panes...
the rain slips down the window panes...
the rain slips down the window panes...
the rain slips down the window panes...



the



pain
