Angel pale with cat eyes.
Scars on her wings.
Music flowed through her veins,
torn verses stain her skin.
Warmth held in her cold claws.
Warmth — sticky as the humid sun. Her words fair and typical.
Yet, spoken solely through melodies. On the ground, she laid —
bored and waiting to fly away. Attracted by the beat of my chest,
a curious rhythm:
a sound she hadn’t heard. My heart was her harp. My emotions were her strings.
