"Could you be my backup?"
The fragment bounced back against her skull
As she strode towards the roadside stall
Waiting,
for the boy who said
he loved her.
~•■•~
"Will you marry me?"
The ring kissed every trench of his palm,
As he whispered it aloud;
Her pupils dilated in
frenzied lustre
And almost made him wish
He wasn't going to
cheat on her sister.
~•■•~
The phrase cradled at her tongue
and she realised he didn't deserve her
and she broke at the way his eyes slipped
from her face to his shoulder;
Her tongue turned to sand and her lips turned to clay
But she gathered her luggage and
Walked away.
~•■•~
Two beasts walked into a shop.
One crumbled;
Two humans
walked out.
