dead girls make good houses

he was left to fill his bed
smiling, his hands supplicant
twisted upon bone and breast
that lastly happy, she was dead

don't be afraid, there was no blood
and she was just a metaphor
and he's a girl, the only one
resting on a bed of earth,

the smile's the shine
the hands were time
and bone? well, everybody knows
that bone is breast ~ and breast is bone
beneath it, he loves hearth and home

    I like the way you're playing with metaphors, Rachel. Where's that metaphor thread you started? That was fun! :)

    verrrrry interesting (peeking from the bushes)
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key
