The Blood & The Bones

this is the girl she wants you to to see, to believe

the fantasy

and she drips sex like honey from hot spoons and hides her wit, her broken bits, her love, her emptiness

just to catch the eyes of men who can’t possibly begin to understand her

and she’ll never have to let them in..

but isn’t that the safer bet?

for when they leave, they are much easier to let slip from her memory..

and if you can’t see the loneliness in the eyes of every selfie, every photo

then you’re just like the rest of them
