"away in a dog, no crib for a bed."

[spiralingstares]

that was one of the last things she sang to me. on the day she came over and we did the photo shoot.
to the tune of "away in a manger."
what a silly girl she is.
because i hadn't before...



"There's no poetry between us"
Said the paper to the pen



Something's burning in the attic
That her tongue will not defend



Through the arc of conversation
Past the teeth behind the smile



Down the miracle mile
To the bottom of the ladder



Paint your eyes and hide the tatters
What's the matter baby?



Could we go downtown
To the middle of the world?



You were always such a pretty girl
And you told me I was beautiful



"There's no poetry between us"
Said the paper to the pen



"And I get nothing for my trouble
But the ink beneath my skin"



If your clothes are getting weary
And your soul's gone out of style



Blame the miracle mile
And the bottom of the ladder



Paint your eyes and hide the tatters
What's the matter baby?
...I'm coming too

you'll never stop being beautiful.
you'll never stop being incredible.
seeing you monday was so surreal.
you weren't laughing. you weren't moving. you were painted up like a doll. lying there, breathless.

i know you're having fun lighting lower merion with matt. you're making life beautiful for us, like you'd want it to be.
i love you darling.
