Queen Albino Died Today

Amy Devitt

Queen albino died today And what I had been afraid of stared at me with awkward eyes 7 days and never once did I pop the lid off Shake the flakes into the white beauty's mouth I was always thinking of myself thinking of all the things I do wrong And everything I could do better but never will The phone never rings and I lay again on Friday night Inside a room where tears cease to fall and hearts grow harder

And harder I took the brittle body inside my glove and gently pressed it in a small white box I wish you could know at the end I will care And someday my emotions and my insecurities will leave me Somewhere else besides the water And if the ground is not frozen we will lay against each other Without soup without two years of unwritten thoughts Alone where you first touched my face In the cold two days before my 17th birthday
