Hardwood floor sparkles with the touch
Of past midnights
That cascaded
Wood running thick spilled candle wax
Oxytocin smears rubbed through thick waved carpet

Strike bones and crack hearts
Have you ever heard of the girl who fell in love with the words?
She died
With smudges under her nails

Fail at CPR
Flip off your ghosts
Fucking hated him anyway
Have you ever heard of the girl who fell in love with the words?
She died
With voices in her head

Then suck off a stranger
Knaw on the nubs of the fucks you don’t give
Have you ever heard of the girl who fell in love with the words?
She died
With paper down her throat

Trade skin for pens
That turn against their holder
Assault the life that gave up her world for falling into theirs
Have you ever heard of the girl who fell in love with the words?
She died
With blood in her ears

Have you ever heard of the girl who fell in love with the ink?
She split her soul
Buried it into her brain that gave them too much and
Once upon a time
They slit her throat
Drowned her in their blood
Filled her veins with black
Cut off her fingers tore the life from her chest and drank every last drop she still
Had

Have you ever heard of the girl who fell in love with the words?
Oh they killed her
