All you want is to be real again. To feel flesh against your flesh
and to stop lying with “I’m good.” when you mean “I’m burning.”
But the wood burns quickly through the versions of you
that you used to be till you don’t recognize yourself.
—WICKER PEOPLE

These memories of you are finally distant rain softened windows.
I guess this is the meaning of letting go.

You were always the darkest tale of my life. And somehow I still manage to find something inside you that was cradled in light.

When I love, I love like torrential rain – heavy and intense.
I am too softhearted and hardheaded.
Don’t treat me like the sun, I am not. I am monsoon.

if your beauty makes them uncomfortable, it is because they have never been taught how to comprehend it.

Leave if you must. But be warned. I will not allow my bones to become a scaffolding to hold you up when you realize you have made a mistake and try to come back.

“
We all weigh joys and darkness and goodness and sin
you see, we are infinite within this skin we are in.
So when they ask you what you weigh
you don’t need to look down at any scale.
Instead, simply tell them the truth,
tell them how you
weigh whole universes
and storms and scars and stories too.
—n.g., WHAT I WEIGH.

There are still roses that will
bloom in your lungs if you can learn
to breathe through the thorns.

It feels like the world only considers a woman to be a woman when she has turned herself inside out giving and giving and giving and giving. And even then, even at the end, it does not thank her. It simply chides her for not having more to give.

Humans are bad at most things. Love, relationships, parenting, holding ourselves together, being dependable. But there is one thing we are so good at, that we are in fact, spectacular at it. We are all so damned good at being broken open. It’s how the light gets out. It’s how we know it’s there. Because once in a while, someone comes along who tells us life is so much more than just existing. Someone comes along to remind us, to stop being so small and so human. And do better by being so much more.

Perhaps the actual problem is the inexcusable way
I have taught myself to love people.
If my heart was a flower it would be
an anomaly born without sepal or petals.
Whole pieces of my soul-gold invested
inside the bank of someone else’s heart.
I mean, Aphrodite never shows up at school,
book in hand, teaching love as the only real art.
There are no classes in the coping with the loss
of whole people, no warnings left on memory’s tombs.
They say love is what makes the world go round,
but no one ever leaves a note for us in the womb.
No instruction manual when we are born,
nor a how-to guide on the correct way to fall.
Nor one on how to barter pieces of yourself
without losing an eternity inside someone else’s soul.
I’m afraid this is why I have always been so lost.
I have been loved, and I have loved
but I never learned how to gracefully bear the cost.
In Which I Admit I Love Badly

“Yes, of course I’ve hardened, of course I have had to change to survive in this unforgiving world. But somewhere inside me, there still lives a little girl who once tried to invent a time machine, just to go back in time to save Vincent Van Gogh from his sadness when she heard he ate yellow paint to get the happiness inside him.”

To be human
and love someone
is savage beauty,
and there are no gods
to answer for it.
Perhaps this is why
we choose betrayal:
because no one
can help us decipher
what love really is.

I will not give up the flowers in my heart for stones just because the world is a hard place. The world is only hard because it needs more flower hearted people.

Once
you were made of the sky
do you remember that?
Before they told you
what you were supposed to be
Before they destroyed
your elegant wings.
Before they tricked you
and chained you to an idea
to a prison they made for you
branded you with a label, with pain
Tried to remold you
into something
easier for them
to understand.
But your blood
didn’t let you
forget, did it?
The taste of the sky,
The memories of flying
to the horizon just to kiss
the sun before he fell asleep.
Once Apollo himself loved you
so much, that he softened
the sun’s heat so it could
not melt your wings.
He is still waiting for you
to remember who you were
before they turned you
into something they understood.
Come, you have always known
what it would take
to eat those chains,
to fly free again.
Nothing about this
was ever going to be easy
Freedom was built
on backs and bones and blood.
Take the thing
that is owed to you.
Forge new wings
in the belly of betrayal.
Watch them quiver
as you rise again,
this time breathing fire
your spine made of fury.
Show them what happens
when they try to take the voice
from those born of the sky
Become your own battlecry.

Sadly, sometimes the people who take permanent residence in your heart will be the ones who walk very temporarily with you in your life.

How many people we pretend are ours, all for a snatched second of happiness; only to watch everyone we have ever loved disappear into the ether.
