Untarnished snowflake
resting gently upon my knee
Symmetrical, unique
Floated gently there, as if
Aware of its transience.

The sharks swimming around our feet
Never bothered us while we wasted time
Throwing blood bags into the ocean
I always thought if I created another catastrophe
You’d circle above my head again
More like a vulture than an angel
But my wrists have always been too frail
And you never cared that much
*~W.C.

You waved your arms.
And...
I put aside my life.

with lips stained from cheap shiraz
a creak is forcefully spread
your heart isn’t made of topaz
and water is not all you tread

with lungs burnt from red cigarettes
you gasp for air with so much difficulty
with feelings that remain uncertain
you crave to be of a different entity

oh but with a broken heart
that desperately yearns to be repaired
my love, you can’t think straight
much less have time to regret
