__Sinking tears –__  feelings don’t fall,   they crash    like glass hearts     meeting pavement. Your chest?  A sunken place.   No bra strap to hold it up –    just white linen,     innocent for a moment,       until it slips        in front of eyes        like mirrors         reflecting          every scar           painted on your skin. __Sandcastle kisses,__  built soft –    _fragile_ –      on lips that no longer        believe in forever. Yet you speak  like royalty,    saying boldly:     __“Love me for what I am –__      not just who you think I’ve been.” Not a princess.  Not a saviour.   A mess.    A wreck.     _A fallen queen._ Wearing her cracked gold crown  like a forgotten joke –    that still makes your heart ache      when it returns       in the quiet between memories. __Bones for time__ –  you pick at every hour    like it owes you something.     _Tick.       Tick._         __Snap!__ The clock breaks    where your mind does. You may live in the day,    but you __breathe__      in the night. Freer beneath moonlight,   where shadows stop asking questions –    and silence     finally listens.

She Breathes in the Night
__Tomorrow is always so dark__ — I don’t have the eyes to see it, but I’ve got the faith to believe in it. And if dreams never die… do we still dream after death? And do you still dream with open eyes — or do they close by the end of the night? We dream in colour in a black-and-white world. But what’s colour worth when we judge by shade, _by place, by blood_? Even their own goes against their own for the turf they hold onto of the authority they own. __My thoughts__ —    Black as summer storms over my mind. Winter is coming, and all we want is to stay warm by standing with our kind. And I hear those churchgoers tell the best lies — where are they going, if they say they carry His light? Leading us all into a “tomorrow,” but is just a place made for the dark… __Tomorrow is always so dark...__ and somehow, still the thing we all hope to find… but it’s also a place we use as a place to hide.
