A lonely girl sits in front of her apartment, weeping
The caterpillar transforms into a butterfly
Another heart, miles away, breaking
Glasses clink, a toast
The war was born today
Candle procession, black linen
An entire village, now a memory
Turning on the hot water
But
Getting stung by biting
Cold showers
Lokoja, Nigeria
A flutter of waves beat through the moonlit night
Lovers slip in and out of each other's skin,
Equilibrium
Cold hands slid down your pants on a public bus
Warm blood, leaving crimson on the seats
A lonely girl stood by the microwave and wept
She put the cake in with the foil wrapping
"I love you forever", words
Spoken so freely without discourse
"There's love in every corner, you just have to untie your blindfold and look"
Advice
You are only alive because god willed you to be
Who would have thought?
Was I consulted before he wrote his will?
"There's peace that transcends heartbreak, the one that heals you
Privilege
"Never call me again"
Did you not know foil paper caught fire in microwaves?
