Birthday Party
June 3, 2013
I went to the birthday party of a girl
Who had lovely blue eyes
Porcelain skin
And scars lining her wrists
When the cake came
With its fluttering candles
Like the twinkling lights
Of a distant city
Everyone told her what to wish for
Perhaps a new phone
Or to meet her favorite celebrity
But I told her
Laced so quietly in my breath
I wonder if she heard it
I told her to wish to be happy.
