Let’s stop trying to make a broken thing work. I don’t think I am capable of staying put.

Sometimes, I genuinely think the sky is bleeding, and I don’t I haven’t shaved in days and you haven’t noticed.Īnd I can’t stop screaming ‘I love you, oh my God, I love you.’ I almost went home with the guy who gave me change I’ve been sleeping with my back to you for months now, I’m pretty sure they hate me.ĭo you have any idea how fucked up this is? We will throw apologies at you that shatter on the floor You will get lost in the desperation, in the longing We will make you think that hurricanes are gentle, We will forget our own names if it means learning yours. In angry colors that make you wish your doorway When our time is up, we will splatter loss all over your walls Without tasting us like blood in your mouth. We will take you to museums and parks and monuments It must have taken to carve that faraway look into your eyes. Into a statue where people come to marvel at how long I would have told you that your body is not a war-zone, I wish I had been there when the world made you I know they are all yelling at you to stretch yourself thinner. I will find another way to ask it, someday. The wind whistles through them like they areĪnd they break, too. Let me tell you something about bones, baby. Told her you wished it could be like that I am going to hold your little hand through the night. I know it doesn’t taste the same as mine.Īnd pinpoint the millisecond that you startedĬounting calories like casualties of war,Īnd watch yourself reappear and disappear right in front of your own eyes. I know your hunger is different than mine. Tell him that you will never know any better.” Oh, when you are the reason it has become so mangled.įrom turning itself inside out, and you love him, you do, There is so much to forgive, but you do not Start by pulling him out of another fire,Īnd putting him back together with the pieces Until you fall asleep and dream of the place Start by wiping the blood off of his chin and He will lose so much, and you will watch it all happenīecause you had him first, and you would let the worldīreak its own neck if it means keeping him. Something that forgets what his hands are for when they He was supposed to be an angel but they took himįrom that light and turned him into something hungry, “Start by pulling him out of the fire and I want to find every stray animal and bring them home. I make a shelter out of plastic in my backyard for all the stray animals leave them food and a place to sleep.” sometimes I sit at the window and watch the rain droplets race.

little children, like, the ones who just learned how to push a kid over on the playground.

If they aren’t afraid of anything, then they don’t believe in anything, either.”I asked you what you were afraid of. “They gotta be scared of something, baby. Of those three, she says the first one is the most important. There is no boat big enough to keep you from drowning in the sea of yourself. You do not have the strength to become her. Is there a vision in your head of who you want to be? No one is ever going to want to touch you. You may be a nice person but you will never be a good person. you will never get him out of your system. How many times have you been in love? I can’t picture it ever happening for you. There is nothing brave about keeping silent. You talk like you’re apologizing for your own voice. People might think you’re pretty, but they’ll never love you. Why do you think change is so hard? is it because you’re afraid? “when you walk, you look like you’re trying to disappear.
