They won’t.

My tears aren’t for them—they’re for you.

I dream of you, here in my glass cage. The twist of my lid, the pull of your fingers, the deep release in the pierce of your pick.

Sink into me, you heathen. You’ll learn soon enough—they pitted me and I sucked it back in, cradling it here for you.

I’m not easy, but I’m yours.

I’m having a great time 😄
