To your fingers, for holding what they couldn't keep.
To the eyelashes I peeled off your cheeks wishing for something better.
To your lungs, for caging a red sparrow with clipped wings.
To the fingernails that tried to scratch off the chips on my shoulders.
To your lungs, for making them forget what air tastes like.
And to you, for only giving you ash in exchange for cigarettes.
