  • Shannon Ashtonhas quoted7 years ago
    we are reckless with each other
    because we are young and we don't know yet
    how damage can last, how it can grow and spread
    and unfurl through a life like the roots of a tree
    finding its way through the dirt. for now, it's a way
    to amuse ourselves, playing games using each other
    as discolored stand-ins for who we really wish was
    holding our hand. this will do for now because
    we are young and we haven't found a way to be brave
    about being alone so we use each other in awful ways
    and laugh when we wake up and give it a rest until
    the weekend rolls around again and our beds feel
    so desperately empty that we have to fill them.
    this will do for now, but not much longer.

    my body doesn't know how to be a body
    without constant reminders.
  • Veronica Zelnerhas quoted7 years ago
    I swallowed love whole like a peach,
    juice dripping down my face.
    the pit is rotting in my stomach
    and here I am.

    passing

    the easy part is over
    and we can't stop looking back
    to figure out exactly
    when it happened.
    in separate apartments
    scattered around the same city
    we mourn.
    there was a time when this
    would have been unimaginable.
    we get together and pretend
    it's the same but even a stranger
    looking in could see it's hollow.
    some days I feel like the stranger.
    some days I can't even look.

    mostly, we're just trying to feel okay.
    most days, this is enough.
  • Tanya Markinahas quoted7 years ago
    LOOK. YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE
    WHO CAN DESTROY ME.
    LOOK. I CAN DO IT MYSELF.

    you're clumsy in love

    and it ends up on a boy's shirt collar anyway.
  • Jen602has quoted2 years ago
    you never thought your body could be
    anything except bruised. your locked door.
    your haunted house. the unlearning
    is taking so long.
  • Jen602has quoted3 years ago
    there are seven pill bottles in my purse
    and I am embarrassed of all of them.

    my body doesn't know how to be a body
    without constant reminders.

    it's probably my fault.
    I taught myself battle so young
