Nine Novembers Later Erin Zarro TW: Violence Nine Novembers later You plucked flowers from my mouth and weaved them into a crown You sang me into submission and we made beautiful music together but in the morning, you didn't remember my name. When I wanted to leave you, you gave me sunlight, promised me forever, slid a dagger through my spine. When you sucked the light from my bones, I cried, and you sewed my tears to my face in silence that burns In darkness, you fed me wildflowers and pain. I will gather my bones and I will rise I will shine heavenly light through my empty eye sockets You will never touch my bones again. Originally written in Esperanto.
