Bloom.

By Malice In Wonderland

'She liked to tiptoe through the mines,
because she hated to see daisies wilt'


Pearlescent petals
Drifting in the wind
Dirtied and sullen
These seeds of hope were lost.

Scattered into the wind.

But she.

She never knew.

Wandering through mindshaftedmadness
She waited.
Praying for daisies once more.

'She liked to pull petals beneath the roots
and wrap them around the flower.'

Linking leadened leaves into
mindless matrimony
heedless
Of the infinate cacophony
Surrounding

'her flower wilted,
and as it struggled for air,
she suffocated it as it dried up and turned to ash
A gust of wind came along,
and blew the ashes into a frenzy
She grew a set of wings and ascended the earth'

"I will catch every ember as they burn"



Collecting cinders
In outstretched arms
We fell headlong into the earth
Meeting upturned soil


[In bloom]



We bled an autumns sunset
Speaking regrets
In crimson fluency

I was a girl


Once
 

Born of
Spite spiked indescision
asphyxiated malice



Thank you



For

Teaching me


How

To

Breathe.
