Ashes, ashes

Hips grinding innocence into dust to be blown away by a northern winter wind.

Ashes, ashes

All floppy brown hair and baby blue eyes, Zach Addy didn't understand the ways of his world. Once upon a time, he was positively naive.

Ring around the rosie

All locked away rage and seductive danger, Seeley Booth couldn't resist the urge to dominate his weaker fellows. Once upon a time, he was painfully innocent.

A pockets full of posies

Lips, teeth, tongues clashing and fighting, desperate for that sanctuary of blackness. That blackness where pain and angst and all those nasty little nightmares vanish.

Ashes, ashes

They lie spent and sated. There is no cuddling or pillow talk or the baring of souls.

Ashes, ashes

They've had that rush of everything and then, then they'll die a little bit more.

We all fall down.
