Dreams, smoke, screams, & oak

It was all becoming real

Someone burned the tree...

What do you do when you’ve gotten everything you could have possibly dreamed?

Him.

What do you do when after all this time, he figured it out?

You.

What do you do when he leaves, locking you in the bathroom?

Fire.

And what do you do when the smoke starts to enter the room, the handles burning to touch?

Die....

Buried deep into the ground

Kneaded and knotted with wood

There’s something lost to be found

Roots, my beginning, worm food...

say it.

“yes officer, he is my boyfriend

The angels & trumpets rained above;

Falling, losing feathers, shot like a dove.

Snakes & the woman disobeyed God;

Choosing fruit over a garden facade.

“I like to think that I don’t have any.”

“You’ve lived life to the fullest?”

“More like lived it too fast.”

“How would you have slowed it down?”

“It kinda did a bit ago.”

“When the gun was at your forehead?”
