you were speechless but full of words

you were speechless but full of words
as i cracked your spine and fondled your
innards

you were full of desperation and angst;
sprinkled with glitter of hope and feigned
happiness

you were a tragic love story

i ran my fingers over you, apprehensive
of what the next few chapters would hold
but in my heart i knew you would be worth all
the pain in the end
