"this broken doll used to have life, you know," she murmured, staring at him.
he stared back, searching. searching for the girl he loved.
"i know, but .. was it stolen ? or was it simply just given away ?"
he tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, away from her face.

"i think it was stolen, but nobody ever tried to take it back."

she only remembers the dark
when all the lights were turned off
and the cold skin against hers
"why are you doing this?" she trembled
a pause.
a silence.
she only wished it stayed like that.
"i don't know."


x x x


she sits on a stool
listening to the song of a music box until it stops
and staring at rainbows until they fade away
he brings her sugar cubes
and re-winds her music box

"come back to me, soon."
he remembers the days
when they would drink tea
and watch things fall from the sky
(rain, snow, sunshine . . )
and her laugh would be the brightest thing
ever.


the image is of my eye, and the dust in my hair reminded me of this poem.
