she likes a little bitterness in her food
a little hunger in her kisses
a little sweetness in her tears
a little irony in her wishes
give her flowers in the street
and post Novembers on her walls
write her playlists to sleep to
and run with her when rain falls
walk the long road with her
as cruel as it may be
she will warm you to her very last--
if you would share her story.

walk the long road with her
as cruel as it may be
she will warm you to her very last--

written between August 30, 2015 and October 20, 2015.
Finally completed, with the help of a good friend.
