yeah i was just the same one boy trying my luck. there was another one boy trying his luck. we were together forever absent from each other. he left. roses bushes are beautiful thorny branches of memory. i ***** myself. i pricked him. rose bushes are beautiful intricate expressions. i picked one for myself. i picked one for him. years pass and the rose bush dies and lives on in me. i keep the petals in a jar on my bedside. i shake that jar, petals rise. i keep the petals in a jar on my bedside, i shake that jar, watch the petals collapse. i cover my bed in all the jars of petals i unscrew the top, the petals float flat. each petal is a part of me, a part of history. A part of our history. i keep the thorns in a jar on my bedside. i shake that jar, watch the thorns collide. i cover my bed in all the jars of thorns. i unscrew the top and watch the thorns get lost. i pick them out of my chest upon waking, a ***** like a misplaced full-stop. — where did you go?
