Hollow bonds
Cold nights with lonely company
A fairytale cloned into sorrow once more
succumb to the heat or forever face defeat
maybe one day she wins through murderous eats
wasting away until composted away from you
thorned garden with beauty shone beneath trampling feet
from far above and distances nearby to see
lyrics forming through the air we breathe
a postcard for all to receive
༄
delicate swaying of the midnight letter mailing
these thoughts of paranoia grant you haunting
drifting amongst the hollow grave
floating towards its desolate hibernate
a chimney amongst the caved in roof
where smoke bellows amongst flames aloof
rippling against the shingles
of a tortured mind jesting rest
༄
the hills of concave sandcastles form
delicate towers in creative mess
from bonds in a white dress
seemingly bliss yet far reaching tests
souls kissing eternal mischief contracts unfolding

Thanks for reading this piece for sleepy draft's Music Video Writing Prompts, inspired by Hozier's music video of "Dinner & Diatribes" - interpret as you please, but the depths of emotions came from an isolated 6 year partnership with a neglectful man that hated me.

OF MOTHERHOOD.
Dear mother-to-be, I wanted to let you know how very, very special I think you are. I don't think there can be any job that is more meaningful than the one you are about to begin, that of being a mom. You are the most important person in the world to your precious unborn baby, and you will be for many years.
