dance with me. just for a little while.

how difficult that will be, darling, for you removed my legs

in your mind then

it is on a ghost ship lost at sea, exploring the dark edges

sing it away. sing back to me

you gave my voice to an opera singer

how about a kiss

a child stole it and a cat stole it from her. my lips are tucked inside a bird nest

you deny me your love

darling, i have given all to you

not your heart

how do you think you were formed? you were the red bird residing in the chambers of my heart. the one before you unleashed you. freed you

what am i

another version of me. as you remove pieces of me, i am reformed in you

then you should fear me

oh, i do. isn’t it exquisite, darling?
