~i let you enter my home and invade my sleep. but the glass slipper was never mine to wear~

~i let the birds carry my voice away; but it never carries back to you- so i tie my hair back with seaweed and let the tides take me beneath~

~i wish i hadn’t carved your name on the walls of my pumpkin carriage like nothing could go wrong. i didn’t know loss until you taught me~

sooty skin under torn dresses
poem 1


the elaborate dresses always tattered at my touch
and i was left grasping the loose threads that remained.
i think i was supposed to be perfect
but the soot always fused with my skin
and discolored my fingernails when i tried to scrape it off.
