I would leave it there
For Poppy's Prompts #9
I have no more aces to draw upon
you've burned my candle to nothing but the metal stub
in your careless musings
comings and goings
drops of poison into my open springwell
was I so hard to love, even as a friend?
I would have supported you through eternity
picking up your fallen inky black crow feathers
carefully fastening them into a crown of my own design
adding my gold and light, calling it beautiful
you fractured more than my heart
you stole a piece of my soul
discarding it into the mulch of your Cypress tree
knowing I would leave it there

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
