A/N: Shamelessly alluding to Wilde in my works at this point. Enjoy.

The nightingale sang to the rose

in the name of love —

when it got too close

the rose's thorn pierced its breast,

its melody became its last note;

it bled out and fell to the ground.


Sitting on a branch

at the very top of a tree

is a lovely notion, 

sometimes.

Power, freedom in the daylight.

Suffocation, isolation in the night.


The world forgets, in the night.
