24/7: A Golden Shovel

I hope and wish on stars for answers.

I am a ghost, a phantom deity

circling the same story, never touching an ending

I gotta go. Feel free to come with me; just keep reading.

I asked you not to kill them

Blood a bitter copper caught between mouthfuls

You call me unsightly; I call this overlooked beauty.

I tried to see what you saw, feel what you felt.

Life does not ask for permission.

We just leapt, jumped off the swings because we were invincible.
