gangrene
grace Mar 2021
he introduced us and he's gone
and i'm falling out of love with you
it's insane to want to get rid of the last bits of him
there is so little left
maybe that's why i want to leave
why i haven't called his parents in months
why i spend all my time counting
calories, dollars, weeks, hours
i wonder if everything we weathered together,
wore us down instead of bringing us closer
sanded the pieces of us that used to click together
maybe my love for you is the price for moving past this horrible *******. year

snap, crackle, pop
grace Sep 2020
once we sat on the floor outside of the theater and talked about all of the horribly destructive things we wanted to do to our bodies

to crack open the sternum
to bite off the pinkie like a baby carrot
to pick at every imperfection on the skin until it is raw and ******

understanding the urge to undo and then rewind ourselves in ways that finally made sense was the first thing that tied us together

the truth
grace Sep 2020
i've probably spent 10,000 hours next to you
our drive in to school
curled up in my bed as we try to watch pulp fiction for the fifth time
i fall in a little more every time
this isn't something that is going to leave me anytime soon
i think once, i told you
it was late and i never was one for remembering the things that i say on the edge of sleep
but we both know regardless

— The End —
