Spidra Lofsang


let's thread a deadly web

through the stars in our hearts.

watch as they

walk away

sway into out hearts.

we'll write them a bed

and we'll bite off their heads,

and they're ours...

 

you and I share a tie

that's thicker than blood

we're the same story

written by a different god.

you were born to be mine,

we were torn to be tied,

aligned scars...

 

we're the witches in the fire

and the ashes in the water

we're the weary soul

never told

it's not his fault he's a monster

 

we're the thoughts they were once lost in

'til they found them best forgotten

'cos all we know to love

is the butterfly's blood.
