She lives in anticipation of his breath.
\nHis subtle smirks,
\nshe lives at the end of his words.
\nThe woe in her and the world in him.<\/p>\n
When he opens his mouth to call for her, she begs to crawl inside and live on his tongue.<\/p>\n
She can live with the bodies in the basement and
\nthe blood on his hands.
\nShe can live with the harmony in the hurts.<\/p>\n
As long as she is his precious,
\nthe blood stone he plucked out of the ugly forest,
\nas long as she is the exception to things.<\/p>\n
Sometimes the rust settles at the bottom of the water and everything turns brown.
\nand she turns into a number.
\nJust
\nAnother
