the lies that she fed him
that night
died in his adam's apple
like a sin
and together
they went to bed
and woke up
in heaven
again

he wrote about
her and
made her
immortal.

and if someday,
some happy day
life grabs you by the collar
and knocks some sense
into your head,
don't think about it
don't fight it.

just remember
that somewhere
in the bottom of a wine glass,
you exist
forever.


-- Eleanor

And maybe, just maybe
Love is not the four letters
But the spaces in between them.


-- Eleanor

Between the stars
And the million years
Your face appears.


-- Eleanor

Much More
your words speak to me
of i love you's and i miss you's

but your eyes speak
of much much
much more


-- Eleanor

just one more drink, he said
and i was fine,
one more drink
will go straight to my head
and make me have
six or seven more
and drown me, drown me
six or seven miles offshore.

just one more, i said
and i was fine
with his hand between my *****
i was fine
with his teeth on my neck,
his claws, pointed, *****, *****
all ten of them
all ten of them ripping my shirt off.
all ten of them
scratching my skin with scoff.

one more drink, he said
and i'll take you home.

"you don't have to be alone."


-- Eleanor
