 Sep 2014 Nevermore
krissie
delicately, I want to tattoo
constellations across your skin
if only for the thought that
if I can't stay with you
then at the very least
my lazy sunday morning,
scrawled out make-believe,
scattered, multihued and
hypocritical ink will.

and whenever you're lost
you can follow the stars
and come back to me.

if it ever crosses your mind...
A heart solid enough to love
Not yet strong enough to withstand breaking
Body of a woman
Mind of a child
A soul divided

What am I?

The mirror splits in two
Glass reflects
Jaded blues
And a steel smile
Glass reflects
Precious purity
And blind innocence

I walk along the edge of
Something unknown
The line ends soon

What awaits me
At the end?
I wrote this for my creative writing class, our theme is "duality" and I chose to write about being on the cusp of childhood and adulthood. Suggestions are welcome and encouraged.
