Cicada.

By Malice In Wonderland

trip
slip
we fall
back into
the bed of nails
in pretty shoes
expensive gasps
loved in shades of blue
your tears
are like nectar
rare and beautiful
but I'll let them dry
as they are.

    This seems like... you've forgotten someone. Or not forgotten, just set aside for later. Perhaps the time to wipe those tears is now, but maybe they've already dried. This was drenchingly sweet, cherry syrup style. Don't forget them.
