And then it fell like snowflakes
But instead caked in ash
The faded little glimmers
Erased the past

But somehow you're reminded
Of your own fake snow
That would fall on cold days
On the insides of your nose

Or the blows
With the breeze
When you held
Your knees
Or afterwards
When you caressed me

Just one more
Can I keep this in your purse
Of everything in the Earth
Don't you know what it's worth?

Pieces were still burning
But you stayed away from the fumes
Because an inch closer
Would've killed you

While you wondered what to do
You were consumed
By an old flame
Back in the day
When you thought everything was okay
And you'd stay
In my backyard
And light up
While I lit a fire
Your eyes filled with something
I mistook for desire

Or when you kept
Getting higher
In an old stairwell
In my apartment complex
And I could never tell
I got used to the smell
Like you get used to a stain
Or a brain
Gets used
To almost anything

Just one more
Can I keep this in your purse?
Out of everything in the Earth
Don't you know what it's worth?

Why?
You cry
I just wanted to get
I interrupt you to admit
It was me
You scream
And come after me
I just wanted to set you free
Or maybe
It had to so with us
What was wrong?
Was I ever enough?
What's really the fuss?
Do you really need

The buzzing
Of the bees
Comes out
From the trees
Disoriented fleas
And angry geese
Gives me
Time to flee
But please
Don't forget me

Not one more
No you can't keep that in my purse
Out of everything in the Earth
Don't you know what I'm worth?
