Ladybug
January 8, 2009
RED...
like the crimson blood rushing,
rushing,
through my veins.
BLACK...
like the deepest crevice of my heart.
WINGS...
like those I wish to claim my
own, or otherwise steal from angels fallen...
SQUASHED...
beneath my thumb, smeared green goo upon my pale skin...
LADYBUG...
we are one.

Yay! My favorite line is "Wings...like those I wish to claim my own"
I like how the mood kinda switches up from serious to more playful.
Nice job Nora.
