Stumps for wings

By SluG

Her black feathers fell and tickles Autumn's nose,
making him sneeze with winter.

"You rascal you!" He yelped up at her as another sneeze
came on.

She didn't understand that he was joking, and she ripped
her wings off from shame and embarassment.

"Joking, only joking!" He screamed with horror as she bled
to death.

"Sorry, I should have asked if you were joking." She said
as her last breathe checked out before noon in it's hotel
room.

"Sarcasm kills even the most loving relationship" Was
enscribed on her tomb, and he cried and cried till his
heart decided to sleep for awhile, too sad to carry on.

Their tombs kissing, holding each other, in their
Purgatory, full of confusion and disbelief.


I love you, don't confuse it with sarcasm honey.
