Good bones (2)
(hello changed a few words up)
TW//
.
.
.
your flesh rotted
and hung off bone
i cannot bear
to kiss your cavity
of a mouth
anymore,
all left of you
a head without
a mind of its own
a body void of it’s
popping joints
sprouting pains
its
stomach aches
and muscle sprains.
but still I hold you close.
thinkin’ like
the realtor
who lured me down
the street
to the splintered house
no one in their right mind
would buy
a lone basket of fruit
glaring from the wood craved
table
waiting to decompose
she handed me the rusted key
with opportunity much like
sliver gun metal
Her hope was ringing
Through my brain
Which im almost certain
She’s put onto every person
Who burdened to come here
“It’s not the best, but it has
Good bones”
Good bones,
Good bones.

Hauntingly good!
The desires of letting someone in versus trying to forget them!
The tones of your poem are aching!
Longing.
Distinct.
I really enjoyed reading it!
A uniquely different style!
