When you think of her do not misplace her to a state of dishonor.
She comes from a place where love and peace is all she intends to offer.

I lit my tongue
on fire and watched as it
burnt down like a wick sinking into the wax of its candle
flame danced in the reflection of my eyes
tears like fire hydrants
the flames licked my tongue and my tongue licked the flames
crisping up my insides i swallow my tongue
esophagus incineration
my voice unspoken
gummy whispers
tasteless lies

and when you said
laughter is like a foreign language
i imagined that i was
teaching you how to
speak it

It's never too late.
The sun also takes
Time to rise,
But the sky
Never remains empty.
