a skeletons path

By AnotherWitheredRose



dew drops
at the tip of my tongue

you make me eat my frozen heart
its lying in the grass
(i perserved it for you)
head over heels
(in love)
face buried in the dirt
(that lies under the flowers)


i dont remember why
i thought this would be beautiful anyway


i sent you my dreams
in a paper plane
but i think it crashed somewhere
behind the mountains of reality


the dead trees consumed in an orange glare
is this the glittering flare
(my distress signal)
i didnt realize i was this lost


i should be better at rejection by now


he(you) the frost bite king
kissed me all over (cold as stone)
but ive melted the skin from the bone


with flames of anger my shell falls away
as does wax from a candle
a puddle of useless colors lies at my feet
(it hurts so much- but- it feels so good to feel)



i turn around and walk down
the right side of the forked road



where it will lead i dont know



but *please* dont look my way



im just a skeleton



and im too pissed off
to pick up the pieces
