Evanescence
Crescent moon— my lids gaze up, my hands unfold, one by one, my nails and my palms both breathing in— never out. I longed for the fresh air’s kiss beneath window pane when I was thirteen, because all I heard then, were screeching chains and the clenching sound of my suffocated veins. half moon came. my lids gaze up, my hands unfold: colors emerge through my arms, straight to my flesh. The wind— it soughs softly tracing every line on my palms. but this time, I let it dance. for it’s the first thing I have touched, that hurt a little less.. than chains.
