ivySometimes I want to peel the skin back from my body and expose you to the skeletal system too dry and brittle to hold all of my sadness in / And other times I want to replace my deflated organs with the brightness of your eyes and watch emotions and balance play out perfectly in front of your body / You have the world behind those eyes and I want to fall into them. Get lost in them. I want to lay blankets and pillows down in your eye sockets and sleep to the rhythm of your blinking. I want to fan myself with your eyelashes and warm myself with your tears.

Untitledthere's no worse feeling than feeling like an imposter in your own body / when scratching an itch on your wrist feels rude / when sleeping in your own bed feels criminal

i probably love you tooi fall in love with at least 3 people a day / it's a disease, really / i fall in love with the way people glance down at their hands after being caught silently giggling with a baby bouncing happily on his mother's lap

Untitledit's almost like when Vincent van Gogh ate yellow paint because he believed it would make him happy / i want to engulf your passionate fury and turn it into something we can both share / trying to spin the wheels on your spiderwebbed heart and watch the cogs rotate around a new start
