raindrop cottages

covered by thorns and hidden by vines

but you’re still attracted to the light

that reflects from my broken sides

you want to swim alone tonight

but I know you’d let me hold you down

Velvet rose petals and shattered glass don't mix but still you’ll love me anyway

despite the scars I've left on you

you’d lay with me

on dead grass

and let me point out your fading colors

you’ll excuse my relentless attempts

to bury you under ground.

“you're destructive

and reflective,

I see myself in you”

As my ridges rip you to shreds you stay with me,

a ****** mess and a lonely swimmer,

another garden destroyed

with wasted raindrop tears
