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.
