_{Day 8

oh, how her see-through smiles go unnoticed,
and she wonders if he ever thinks of her
as much as she thinks of him.

But his life belongs to another;
one life for another.
Or that's what she tells herself
when she's hanging from the rafters;
hanging by a thread.

Day 9

there's tranquility in your
hollowed bones; the way they
bend and fold tell stories
of your end.

Day 10

i'm only honest
when no one is looking;
cloak and dagger.

Day 11

young buds peep from
muddy beds searching
for escape from their
winter tombs;

they found grace
in the sun.

Day 12

you look frail
in your mortality,
as if a gentle breeze
could knock you down.

And I can't help but fear
for my own descent.

Day 13

in the end we all crumble and fall,
but it is the initial drop that we
fear so much -- but not you.

you stand so close to the edge
because you're not afraid to let go.

Day 14

shimmering rays of the morning
beams across her freckled skin,
making them come alive so
openly and freely that he could
sit back and count them.}
