"The greatest ironies of life: having the right person at the wrong time, having the wrong person when the time is right, and finding out that you love someone after that person walks out of your sight ...." -V. Para


I found you in Plath,
Gnawing on an hourglass,
And cataloging the way,
Your teeth disintegrated.
You attempted to peel the lies,
From your empty bones,
I helped you all I could,
Only to reveal more bone,
So I wrote you a pardon,
And lied to my conscience,
Stitching up your charcoal eyes,
With a practiced thimble.

But it was wrong to dress you,
In calculated effervescence,
And I wish you had known this,
The day your rope finally decided,
To hold.
