Playground Love

She takes another bite from the forbidden fruit.
Lost, confused, hopeless.
She stares at the moon and asks
"Why do you shelter the sun when it gets afraid? Everytime I start to feel down I get this feeling deep inside my stomach. It turns inside out and I vomit these toxins out of me. My blood boils as these bugs crawl inside my skin. I'm so scared of the future, I'm scared of the inevitable. I want to feel your cold embrace wrap around my opaque skin. Is there anyone out there to shelter me?"

She dances alone in the shadows of the night. Waiting for someone to sweep her off her feet. With no one around, she peels off layers of her soul as the tears stream down her cheeks. The thunderstorm that was brewing inside suddenly bursts out. A fiery pit so deep that it consumed her innocence along with her spirit. 

She smirks at the thought of ending it all with one final jump. With her white stained dress and muddy shoes, she takes the final step to her destination. 
"Take me, spirit of the night"
