The Blood & The Bones

She was lovely in a way that made the stars jealous. Not complicated or requiring a deep connection like the beauty I possess.

And I could see, right away, how I had lost him to her

But, to be fair, I could not place my anger on her. That would make no sense. She just happened to be there when he left. Another human ready to take on the damage he won’t repair.

And I have to feel sad thinking how her light will dim after loving him. Just like mine did.
