You’re afraid of lying down with me and never wanting to get up again.
That scares me too.
Comfort that consumes you.
At the end of the day, it isn’t where I came from. Maybe home is somewhere I’m going and never have been before.
Warsan Shire (via quotes-shape-us)My alone feels so good, I’ll only have you if you’re sweeter than my solitude.
Warsan Shire (via fleurstains)i give myself five days to forget you.
on the first i rust.
on the second i wilt.
on the third i sit with friends but i think about your tongue.
i clean my room on the fourth day. i clean my body on the fourth day.
i try to replace your scent on the fourth day.
the fifth day, i adorn myself like the mouth of an inmate.
a wedding singer dressed in borrowed gold.
the midas of cheap metal.
tinsel in the middle of summer.
crevice glitter, two days after the party.
i glow the way unwanted things do,
a neon sign that reads;
come, i still taste like someone else’s mouth.
