moonflower


he used to call me his moonflower

'you'll bloom in the dark'

wearing white wedding gown and pearls he'd gifted me

on some days, his pale black shadow kisses me 

'come home, my love,' he says, as he tries to kill me 

yet, i visit his grave every night with moonflowers,

wearing white wedding gown and pearls he'd gifted me
