DISASTROUS ( Jon Snow )

EPIGRAPH

[so much thanks and love to @couragebekind for making these]

[ ... ]

you walk as if the only sound
you know is a strangled war-cry,
howled in the dark before the wolves
circle their prey and close in;
you walk as if you know the wolves
will never win;
you walk is if pain is your
only salvation, like you learned
to love in the sun-dried desert
air, harsh and wild and full of rage;
you walk as if your jagged bones
are a cage;
you walk as if you've got nothing
left to lose, because they've taken
the things you knew couldn't be yours
but for which you still prayed;
you walk as if you don't even want
to be saved.

this rose is made of mud
this glitter is made of coal
this child,
this scoundrel,
this good man,
this acrobat are
made of clay

she is the kind of woman
that breaks your heart by
being too good at loving you.
she's the kind that you don't
deserve and you know it -

so you spend the rest of
your life earning that right -
the right to deserve her,
and hoping to god
it's good enough.

and you know what? it is.
