She had spent a year trying to get rid of her scars by shaving them off, like wood. But seeing her scars I looked into her heart and I saw cobwebs, like nobody had been there in three years. "Hasn't anybody been in here?", I asked. She shrugged her shoulders, lopsidedly, meekly. So I stuck my head into her heart and I kissed the walls until she moaned out at the tenderness and it flushed not with cobwebs, but with life. |
Copyright ©2020 Ashi Shadow -9/2/20 - I considered the word "gasped" instead of the word "moaned", as I felt it could be misinterpreted.
I considered taking out the word meekly.
The "it" in the second last line refers to her heart.
