White Crow

~White Crow~





You decayed under my kiss,
my tongue caught between your teeth,
my lips wrapped around them as though flesh were there still.

Don't forsake me,
I feel my own mortal coil coming undone,
We're just kindred spirits who hoped to survive in a godless world.

If you earned your wings today, I wonder,
could you bear the cutting, pinching,
threading, pulling, bleeding, stitching,
pain that would be involved in attaching an angel's wings?

What did you think it would be like?
I bet you thought they would just sprout,
Nothing comes from nothing, we know,
It's a small price to pay to be able to wander in paradise.

I believe in god, you didn't have to, but I do
I didn't used to until I met you,
it helped me realize there had to be something controlling fate,
in the most unpredictable way.

Time did to your skin like cracks in porcelain,
Memories left a  messy trail in the heart,
They fought back strong when oppressed,
as they felt threatened that they would be forgotten.

I let go of a healthy mind and grief took me before long,
I lost myself somewhere down the stairs,
and let myself fall apart just beyond the door,
Though I still possessed the will to be kind.
