You Comfort Me Although You Are Ash
You ask my to stay with you on the bad days.
So I curl between your ribs and envision what your heart what sound like.
I wish I could hear it beat loud enough to drown out my cries but you call me your shooting star.
You tell me I burn beautifully.
You have wrapped your hands around my eyes so often I am starting to see the creases of your bones everywhere. And I love them just like I love the scent of dirt or empty eye sockets.
You wrap your arms around me when I shake but your bones don't hold enough warmth to keep me shining.
I want to stay with you but you are just a skeleton.
Made of bones and space,
And to stay with you would be going against everything you want me to do.
