Water

Esther

I let you carve my heart
And you watched
As I fell apart
Fragile bones snapping
Hard against stone
Like the cars, and the bars
And the scars of your love
You were not what I was told
What I learned
Or knew
Straight from the pages of a dark romance novel
You were Jack, and Gatsby, and Bill
I am Jill, and Daisy, and Nancy
We would walk
By the river
As the stars came out
You were leading my hand
Like dog and man
Chill air, cold nose,
Cold fingers and toes
To the warmth of your house
And the chains of your bed
Asking over, and over, and over
We were poison on skin
And acid on wood
Telling me you're wanting
And needing, and aching
Mr Wolf was I too young
Too small, too frail?
Baring teeth and claws
And those darkened eyes
Bad Wolf was I too young,
Too small, too frail?
Did my cape catch your eye
I would become your prize
Straight from the pages of a dark romance novel
You were Jack, and Gatsby, and Bill
I am Jill, and Daisy, and Nancy
Now I'm read
And alone and scarred
From my Prince of Ink
And King of Persuasion
I was relenting and fighting
To keep you at bay
Small palms against chests
Slaying innocence
Crushing hope
Taking youth, and you, from us we two
Black and Blue, are we through?
Can we move away?
Can I move along, move on?
(Please let me go)
Straight from the pages of a dark romance novel
You were Jack, and Gatsby, and Bill
I am Jill, and Daisy, and Nancy
And into the clearing
Free from wolf and cape
Is my hair too long?
My shoe far gone?
Will another find me?
And claim me?
I want to lay arms
Trapped in warmth
And love, oh love
Call a house a home, a chair a throne
Call a house a home, a chair a throne
Call a house a home, a chair a throne
Will I stay here alone?
