my skin is made of bubblegum and my hair is the sea moss that stretches over shores, you tip toe around me to avoid my touch on your skin. i am a mosiac of everyone i've ever loved and known and my tiles shimmer and glimmer accordingly—yet love is unfamilair to you so my abundance of it was seemingly violent. i am not certain i know why you walked away, i had sat and thought about it for months, i... » Continue Reading
when i was a kid i used to love peaches, i relished their soft fuzz and grinned as their juice spilled from the gaps where milk teeth should be and dripped down my chin. your skin was so soft and i could've sworn heaven resided in your pupils. (i still love you) my grandmother had a peach tree in her backyard, i would pester my cousins to pick them for me. i would lay in the grass and stare into t... » Continue Reading
nothing hurts like you do, i've been cut this deep once before but that was milestones ago now and if i'm completely honest that wound was deeper—but you opened it and sliced through my arteries: this wound may not be as fresh but that's what causes me such pain, you reopened everything i hoped would rot away and never replenish. i need to ingest you. i have a hunger that will not be satisfied un... » Continue Reading
you know you've got everybody fooled, and up until last thursday you had me under your spell too. in all my history of smoke and mirrors i'd never seen a distortion like you. every inch of me knew better than to trust you yet i honestly thought that you wouldn't be so callous. but i was wrong—what did i do to make you react so viciously? how can you act with such emotional brutality after hearing ... » Continue Reading
it was now ritual, crawling through your open window at dusk, then dawn. you had never looked like ruin before, but now that you stand away from me it is clear you are the spitting image wrapped in flesh. i stepped over shards of you on my way in. i will not flinch or fight, i will just kept finding reasons to stay even as you crumble at my touch and push me away like i have rejected my past love... » Continue Reading
and i am so so sad that my chest aches. i toss and turn in the middle of my bed whilst i grind and bare my teeth to overpower the weight that will concave my ribs. and as tears fall from my shallow eyes my throat closes up and i feel a numbness wash over me i have only ever felt crossfaded. i feel as though my tonsils will swell and suffocation will visit to take me away. my head is dizzy and my e... » Continue Reading
i have shed my skin so many times but i cannot wash my sheets enough to keep up with my constant metamorphosis—so my cells remain in the air of my bedroom, alive or not. i keep collections of pulses and i could draw out the veins on my wrist without looking, but nothing spills from me anymore. i have outgrown letting myself pour out through my forearms and have turned to inhalation of other forms ... » Continue Reading
the fact of the matter is that i still love you, i always will and even when i denied it i was nothing but a liar. there is a part of me that will hold on to you forever and fortunately that is a big chunk of my soul. i know that for whatever reason i was meant to know you, meant to hold you—to love you. every star that falls from the sky matches each tear that slides across my face, each twinklin... » Continue Reading
i was born out of love and until now i wasn't sure that i was meant for it. i have never loved another as i love you—i now know that i was created for purpose. with you on my arm i understand that my heart does not beat for survival but so that i could know you. my fingertips dance and trace around every inch of your skin, there is not one spot of you i could hate. i want to crawl into your heart,... » Continue Reading
there is a unfamiliar sweetness hidden under your tongue and slathered across your bottom lip, i was afraid that the tears and scars i carry with me would cover you in brine and wash you away. i cannot cling to your body enough, my nails will break your skin and as blood beads on your back you will not look at me with anger. as my calloused palms snag at your curls you will melt closer to my touc... » Continue Reading
you lay softly beside me, our bodies interlocked as you gaze into my eyes—i am not sure why i love you with the gravity that i do, i really just met you. i never favoured my name but you whisper it like a wedding vow into my ear alongside sweet nothings and maybe i decide that it was created with a tangible softness only you could unveil. you touch me with intention and a kindness i have never kno... » Continue Reading
talk to me at a party, just casually—joke with me about how i can't handle the taste of vodka unless i'm drunk enough to loose sensation. creep closer to me, lean into my side as we talk to your friends, interlink your legs with mine when standing becomes to tiring. pull me aside and kiss me with a hunger i haven't felt in a while—convince me its not lustful as my hands run through your curls and ... » Continue Reading
