beautiful girl
Skin made out of stone,
Too many broken bones

Beautiful girl,
Chew me up,
Spit me out

Beautiful girl
Come home
Come home

we tell our children to look up at the sky; make a wish on glinting dots in the sky. but why do we put our faith in false light pulling tricks on sleepy eyes? love, trust, hope - we push and we push. but they're dead, they're dying - already gone by the time they're captured beneath a closing eye. blink and they're gone - blink and we're returned to the dust that was tirelessly spent to build the ground in which we lay. wishing - constantly needing, from a star's caress that died billions of years ago. we, with tilted head and trustful fingers reach to a sky filled with nothing but the remnants of something long ago lost.

but go ahead, wish you may wish you might, send your hopes and dreams to all those dying stars tonight.

how can I be as free as a bird
If I am locked in a wrought iron cage

[⠀⠀⠀petrova]

you wander this world with sutured eyes
"i'm so alone. i'm so far gone."
turn around
pry those stitches free
i'm right here.
i'm right here.

from winter comes spring
and spring brings flowers
but this ice is everlasting
and summer has forgotten me

caught in a winter wild
how the hell will I bloom

[⠀⠀⠀petrova]

I am in the violence inside the warmth that kisses your skin
I am the burn that hides under long days of pleasure
I am the sun; I am the heat the sears your naïve, upturned cheeks.

[⠀⠀⠀petrova]

if our lives
are meant to be a balance of good and evil
then I think someone has their fist
buried in the bottom

[⠀⠀⠀petrova]

you're like phases of the moon
so full and bright, the light of my life
and then suddenly you're not even there

[⠀⠀⠀petrova]

winter is over
but i still feel the tug of your chill
