She had roses in her ears
I had dirt in my nails
She had steel aglets
I had a webbed heart

She had dandelions in her toes
I had dragons in my veins
She had mercury eyes
I had pebble blood

And together we were broken
Delicately alone
Together we sliced the sky
Shredded starlight

She had ochre in her highlights
I had dust in my dreams
She had shattered promises
I had her rusted hand
