Winds whip the earth,
snuffing Hephaestus as he
danced through ancient trees.

As the moon rises,
We count the minutes that pass
Because we can't sleep.
Books are the ultimate Dumpees: put them down and they'll wait for you forever; pay attention to them and they always love you back.
-John Green (An Abundance of Katherines)

Insomnia haunts
us, sadness in the mirror:
bags under our eyes.

Despair sank her hooks
in the hollows of our spines.
Desire hungers.

Misery fell to
her lips, ready to sing sad
stories as she slept.

Remembering dreams
she hadn't meant to have had
but can't be rid of.
Never forget who you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.

Like demons they haunt,
lurking in her darkest thoughts
until the light fades.
I am a forest fire and an ocean, and I will burn you just as much
as I will drown everything you have inside.

The details were dim,
and the length insufficient;
and yet, it was loved.

(the first two lines lie, I promise!)

Love lasts forever
Or at least that's what they say
What is your excuse?
Books are the ultimate Dumpees: put them down and they'll wait for you forever; pay attention to them and they always love you back.

Dear, you missed a test
today; you were in the burn
ward, choking on blood.
I am a forest fire and an ocean, and I will burn you just as much
as I will drown everything you have inside.

But don't worry, dear:
if you're still alive, you can
do it tomorrow.

Watch the rising lines,
hear the beeping. The machine
is waiting for you.

This thud is your heart
beating between bated breath,
halting in the night.
I am a forest fire and an ocean, and I will burn you just as much
as I will drown everything you have inside.

There wasn't a thing
I could do to save you dear.
But whimper goodbye.

As a former (and rather excellent) liar herself, Aru knew that, sometimes, speaking the truth felt like wrenching a thorn out of your side. But doing the opposite meant pretending it wasn't there. And that made every single step ache. It was no way to live.
