>>-Before-<

If burning waits, I can't relive,
and desperation shreds
like parch-loved throats inside my hands
that crumble when I lead

I need you here like you need me
a stone-and-lily child
I'll bow to hate and tear its knees,
you'll chew my lips and smile.


>-And After-<<

If melting waits, I'll stay for you,
arrest my breath to speak
You'll close your eyes to know my taste,
to heal my cluttered ice

I need you here like you need me
a thick white-daisied love
We'll nod our skin and lord our hope
to thinking it has won.

Amazing. Yes, how do you do it? This is wonderful. Good way to go about it.

I always love reading your work, Carly.  It makes university seem so much easier.  

Keep up the confusing work, girl.  Rock on.

You're going to have to explain this one to me later on MSN lovey. Even with it flyin over my head tho, I still think it's uniquely you. Stunningly done, as always Carly. Miss you, Wub you.
