the city winds had ****** me up and spat me back out, and i thought i was so hip and unknown, with swirling leopard prints and black gloved hands. a boy by my side that looked at me with thunderstorms. the city buildings shadowed me and protected me from the truth attempting to leave bruises on my buckled knees. a tourist in uncharted waters, a damsel who continuously puts herself in distress. my hair was Medusa, his fingers were Dionysus, and when they fused, our Mount Olympus was created, tasting like berries and scratching at snake bites scabbing and itching to be reopened. his kisses tasted like nostalgia. i’m an american girl who is super glue, affixing herself on whatever will stay long enough.
