//------------------------------// // Starlight's Poem // Story: Pony Poems // by alafoel //------------------------------// Your words, your words… They cut the fur, that hides the skin, that holds the flesh, that covers the bones, that protect my heart. Your words… I... They puncture the skin, that holds the flesh, that covers the bones, that protect my heart. Your words, your words… Forgive… They pierce the flesh, that covers the bones, that protect my heart. And I can’t stand to hear them, those words, those words… You. They snap the bones, that protect my heart. I Forgive You That bursts the heart, that spills the blood, that seeps through, and through, the bones, the flesh, the skin, the fur. I Forgive You That seeps through, that builds a picture, that resides on my flank, that carries me and carries me and carries me. It hurts to see my own Cutie Mark.
