She felt like feeling nothing
cold like a touch of winter
empty like the wine bottles
that took up space in her room

A summer of mistakes
led her here
a bed filled with loneliness
and a heart tired of breaking

She felt like feeling nothing
She grew tired missing you

There were
once
five
girls
who
shared
every part
of themselves:
                                       Blood
                                       &
                                       Secrets
                                       &
                                       Lovers
                                       &
                                       Even
                                       a diary.
But
a girl
can only
bleed
so much
before she
meets

her demise

- I’ll see you in California

My decisions
are always visceral.

***, love, don't eat meat.

Empathize until it hurts.

Go here, and there,
but stay home most of the time.

Feel feel feel.

It's all visceral.

I don't use my head
or even my heart,
I use my gut.

As women

Everyone thinks we’re fine...

Because makeup hides ...

The sleepless nights

AND THE TEARS WE CRY...

You always just want more.

Longer kisses, longer hugs, more time spent together.

You'll drive around the block five times just to keep them another hour. Everything is another story to the bookshelf you are building..

Their happiness becomes just as important as yours. You learn to love what they love, you'll want to be better.

Because they've made you better..

How can
someone
be
too young
to be
in love
when we were
crafted
from
              ocean waves
              & starlights?
- young love
