remember when
the sky was purple
and made of hedgehogs?

when a glance at my eyes
could make you smile
and forget what i did.
you always said
my eyes were as cold
as my heart
as cold
as the ninth circle of hell
as you once said
such a long
long
time ago

i'm so so sorry
tessa
for everything i've done

you always wore
your clockwork angel
ticking like my love
for you

always
