Sta.sh
Once upon a time in a time so very dark
I met a young girl, so very strange and so very, very unusual
She had eyes a sleek, empty blue yet clear and so very, very entrancing
She looked up, eyes hidden behind greasy black hair that reached down to the middle of her back.
With a hint of a smile and a flick of her wrist she asked me to follow.
- -Her finger relaxed on the wick of the candle and no doubt in moments there was light.
'Today I will give you a name, and you shall give me mine.'
Tempting and this very unusual little girl nodded her head and with that same crooked smile-
gave me a name.
'Your name will be Alice and though this is a lie- only the best things will come through very unusual time.'
Twisted the trees above us were and we hid like ghosts in daylight- the atmosphere choking all of us one by one and- -
We were desperate for clouds.
'Your name will be Adrastea and never again shall you flee from the weakest things such as rickety bridge or splashing stones.'
My voice was quiet but stern and I wrung my hands in pain and sorrow.
Stirring swirls of fallen leaves relish how the cold bites, when the sunset dilutes itself in the soothing earth of your eyes.
She and I sang in the most darkening tone,
- - and drenched in calmness we disregarded the world and its zero colors and drunken fables.
She took my hand, it was so cold and so very pale, and I could sense the tension and misery even before it even began.
Adrastea and I shook the leaves out of our hair and
- - each time we walked we could hear the crinkling of broken bones clutched between bricks and heavy breathing.
The moon arose and the skies cleared and our sight was blinded by the illumination of its celestial body and we became so very lost and so very, very frightened.
But we could feel and we could breathe and we could sense and right now that was all what mattered.
We didn't even care that our calves were soused in tenebrious, glistening ebony.
- - Because we can respire and inhale scented vanilla and taste the most dreadful of depression and we know we can fight it and -
right now that's all that matters.
