How You Doin?! ;)

How fast she has to talk.

If a man were saying that, he’d be going slowly to emphasise points. He’d be indulging in the occasional ‘you know’ or other filler words. He’d be able to stop for breath. Notice that she didn’t do that. She had the whole thing memorised and she got it out with barely a pause to breathe.

Why?

Because she expected to be interrupted.

When you’re bored at a hotel in Rochester 😂

Follow me:

And I...

I was not worthy of the way,

Her eyes burn like ember,

Lonely heart set afire,

For every time she looks at me.

A glint of silver, hidden in black silk.

Be quiet, be still, be one

with the shadows and demons

you've killed.

We don't hold funerals

for skeletons in our closet,

Not for the ones living,

that should be dead,

Nor for the dead

that should be living.

We do not mourn what we burn.

A quarter unsure, unsteady, unready

mouth tasting like indecision

One foot in front of the other,

bidding, binding, blending

then goes for the kill.

We don't offer prayers

for words left unsaid.

Not ones the living left

for the dead,

Nor ones the dead left

for the living.

We don't mourn what we cannot burn.

Half scared, Half in love with her

I put one foot in front of the other

and then another and another

'til I was sprinting off

to the other end of the world

We don't leave white roses

for empty promises.

Not from ones who died,

Not from ones who're alive.

We burn them. All of them.

Pages upon pages,

Of roses and promises.

You cannot mourn,

what you don't own.

And you can't burn

whatever's left of what you own.
