Lily's poem from chapter ten of Shadows, as she wrote it over the next few days. But can be read as standalone :)
Beat
Beat
Thousand repeated sounds of my heart against my ribs
It cries out and whimpers for him even as my mind says no and my body refuses
But it
Is relentless-
Whispers
Cries
Endless little ideas and hopes invading my dreams and waking thoughts
Flit away in my denial
But
IlovehimIlovehimIlovehim
Scrawled on my bones and the air leaving my lungs
And I see him there
He walks and laughs and I know he does not want me
Even as he teases with his soft kisses and gilded eyes
Igniting a fire in my soul
An ache between my thighs
A hollow in ribs
Where my heart beats beats b e a t s
And knows it will be denied
Please review! It makes me happy, especially when you tell me how I can improve.
