[hometext] => Can one forgive the person they begrudgingly still love after so much silence?
[bodytext] => I am reminded of you in my loneliest hour - soul clenched tight behind lips that burn to kiss, to devour, and even in this wretched twilight I love you as I loved you before, when you were neither smoke nor dream, yet forever untouchable. The moon lay wounded in the cross of your arms that night. I remained as still as a funeral flower watching from the soil that never touched you, silent with my grief, and yet smiling as you became moonlight. No longer the fruit to your hunger, I lay on my side in hopes that you would hold me, if only for a moment, not as the frail, but as the woman that loved you more than sorrow. The night drips into my hands like the saddest song, and I think of you. I cannot outrun it. You stain everything with your phantom flowers, the same sweetness flowing over me as it did before, the same unforgiving ache creating the same ruins. How can I remain silent when your hands search for me with that broken tenderness I know so well? How can I forgive the wounds you inflicted? the cold absence you gave me? the agony of still longing for you? Darling, how can I not love you in this darkness?
