Autumn Doughton Quotes
Ending
I Lied.
I Wanted You From That Moment.
I Wanted You, Wrapped In Starlight And Reflections,
To Be Tied Up With Strings.
And Ropes.
And Chains.
I Wanted You Hanging Around My Neck
Like A Charm I Could Press To My Heart And
Make Three Wishes On.
But I Trapped The Want
And The Words Inside My Mouth.
I Buried Those Secret Things Under My Tongue,
Biting Down Until Blood And Bitterness
Filled My Mouth
And Poured Down The Back Of My Throat.
In The Beginning, You Said, There Was Only Water.
But What About The End?
I Closed My Eyes And Lay Flat
With My Back To The Ocean
And My Face To The Sky.
I Lifted My Hands And Caught Ribbons Of Wind
Underneath My Fingernails.
I Rode The Water For So Long,
I Forgot What My Skin Felt Like When It Was Dry.
