it always shocks me when i realize the people i love are human too and that they make mistakes and have flaws and are allowed to be selfish sometimes.

You kiss me with your mouth wide open like you’re not afraid of swallowing poison. I taste the good and bad in you and want them both. We call this bravery.

The Boy looks at him, face twitching but making an effort to be still. “Repeat after me.”
The Boy grins at him, eyes sliding left, down, up, back to center.
“I love you.”
“I love you.”
“No. Repeat— I,” he presses a fist into his chest, “love you,” the fist finds The Boy’s breastbone.
He looks confused for a moment, then says, slowly, “You love me.”
“Yes. I love you and I’m not going to leave you.”
“You love me and you’re not going to leave me.”
“I love you and I’m not going to leave you.”
“You love me and you’re not going to leave me.”
“I love you. I’m not going to leave you.”
“You love me. You’re not going to leave me.”
“I really do. I’m really not.”
“You really do. You’re really not.”
“If I get sent to prison—” he raises his eyebrows at The Boy’s giggle.
“If you get sent to prison—”
“I still won’t leave you.”
“You still won’t leave me. Because I’ll probably be arrested for the same—”
“If they bring back the draft and I’m sent overseas—”
“Oh my God. If they bring back the draft and you’re sent overseas—”
“I still won’t leave you.”
“You still won’t leave me.”
“If I die—”
“No.”
“If I die—”
“No. That’s enough.” He presses down harder with his knees.
“If. I. Die.”
The Boy stares at him in silence, then trails fingers over the bones of his best friend's knees.
“If you die,” it’s barely a whisper.
“I still won’t leave you.”
“You still won’t leave me. ‘Cause I’ll die too. I will.”
“That’s not what I’m saying. Repeat. I won’t leave you.”
“You won’t leave me.”
“I will haunt you—”
“You will haunt me—”
“All the days of your life.”
“All the days of my life.”
“Because the way you love me—”
“Because the way I love you—”
“Is perfect.”
“No.”
“Is perfect.”
“No.”
“Is perfect.”
“Is perfect.”

“That’s what you like in a girl:
cute and sad,
with enough disorders that you could
count them to fall asleep.
The kind you can show off at parties as the latest broken thing you fixed. Where will you hang your
awards for loving someone
who can’t walk in a straight line without being supported?
Is there room next to your
collection of glasses you shattered by holding them too tightly?
The blood on your hands
does not make you a martyr.
Do not curse when your hammers
do nothing but scar her.
Do not use your words
to remind her that everybody else would have left by now.
If she could speak, she would tell you: you think it’s beautiful to love somebody as light as me
but you don’t know how heavy I had to be to become this empty.”
— Lora Mathis, Your Type of Woman

BROKEN HEARTS
I know you’ve lost someone and it hurts. You may have lost them suddenly, unexpectedly. Or perhaps you began losing pieces of them until one day, there was nothing left. You may have known them all your life or you may have barely known them at all. Either way, it is irrelevant — you cannot control the depth of a wound another soul inflicts upon you.
Which is why I am not here to tell you tomorrow is another day. That the sun will go on shining. Or there are plenty of fish in the sea. What I will tell you is this; it’s okay to be hurting as much as you are. What you are feeling is not only completely valid but necessary — because it makes you so much more human. And though I can’t promise it will get better any time soon, I can tell you that it will — eventually. For now, all you can do is take your time. Take all the time you need.
— Lang Leav

he is stronger than you will ever be
picture this.
it's bitter cold out and you know he loves you and you're so sorry because
you don't love him and you never have.
and you're sorry and he tells you that being with you is like punching a wall out of anger,
you're bleeding, you're hurt, but you feel satisfied, too.
it's bitter cold out and you're shaking but it's not the cold that's making your bones feel thin and frail
it's the way he's standing.
your knees start to shake and his posture is defeated and fragile
like a man who carries the sins of the whole world
and knows it.
You would think it's a weak person who loves with all their heart
but it's quite the contrary.
it takes a very strong person to give away love,
and you lost the ability to do that a long time ago
when you watched your father get buried six feet
underneath dirt that was damp and cold.
you promised yourself never to love someone
again because it hurts too much
and you've hurt so much.
picture this.
it's bitter cold out and you're the reason he's crying.
it's bitter cold out and your knees shake when you tell him
you don't love him and you never have.

i. i've never been in love with anyone but i've loved the way
you kissed, loved the way you are endlessly gentle, i have loved—
ii. i've never been in love with anyone but i have loved the nights we walked around until late and the streetlights lit up the way for us
iii. i've never been in love with anyone but i remember the October
night we sat inside the dark purple slide and you held onto
my hands and your cheeks were bright pink because of the
cold and i remember what i felt—too much, too much—
iiii. i've never been in love
with anyone
but we came pretty
god damn
close

The stranger says there are no more couches
and he will have to sleep in your bed.
You try to warn him,
You tell him you want to get inside him,
and ruin him,
but he doesn't listen.
You do this, you do.
You take the things you love,
and tear them apart,
or you pin them down with your body,
and pretend they're yours.
So, you kiss him,
and he doesn't move,
and he doesn't pull away,
and you keep on kissing him.
And he hasn't moved,
he's frozen,
and you've kissed him,
and he'll never forgive you,
and maybe now,
he'll never leave you alone.

my tongue got stuck to the icicle
when i licked it; and when i
touched the candle flame
my fingers came away red and blistered.
this could be a poem about
savage beauty and the danger
inherent in nature.
instead it’s about people,
and how they’re always
touching the things
that they shouldn’t.
(that girl on the news never invited
that man to touch her.
all i can think about is how
i wish she had had something savage
coursing through her skin.
god should have made girls lethal
when he made monsters of men.)

“when Whitman wrote,
“I sing the body electric”
I know what
he meant I know what he wanted:
to be completely alive
every moment
in spite of the inevitable.
we can’t cheat death
but
we can make it work so hard
that when it does take us
it will have known a victory
just as perfect
as ours.”

our educational system tells us
that we can all be
big winners
it hasn't told us
about the gutters
or the suicides
or the terror of one person
aching in one place
alone
u n t o u c h e d
unspoken to
watering a plant.
people are not good to eachother.
people are not good to eachother.
people are not good to eachother.

Dear Sara
you are my meredith grey
and i'm your cristina yang
i'm sorry that people who should have a lot more
generally end up with much less than that
and most of all
i'm sorry you're one of those people
you know already that i've become a girl
who says screw him, you derserve better
but i always go back
to my boy who makes me the happiest
and the saddest i've ever been
both of our lows are so damn low
you are sunshine personified, baby
and you are my meredith grey

five phases of the way that i love
1.
i hated you for the same reason i loved you
in june, you made me feel dizzy
and dunked my head under lake water so many times that i was gasping
but i swear i was breathing better than ever
you tore me apart
but i thank you for it;
now i know how to put myself back together
2.
in july, i learned how to kiss
and how to hold on
on the bad days, i would clench my fist and bite my lips, hold on hold on
on the worst days, i would gasp so hard
i'd convince myself that i would never breathe again
not again, i would think, don't let yourself lose breathing like you've lost everything else
3.
in late july, i said goodbye to my fourteen year old self
i swear every year feels the same
4.
in august, i told you if i could unmeet you, i would
you said
that makes two of us
i learned that words hurt just as much as bruises do
and they're similar in the way that you can revisit them
pressing on them for the familiar sting
5.
in september, i went back to school a fifteen year old
sometimes i revisit those bruises
mostly i just leave them alone
