i.
How do i love thee let me count the ways. My voice gets caught in my throat nothing comes out because i have nothing to say, but you dont care you werent listening anyway. Do you even know im here?
ii.
we exist in two halves of a whole. Its weird baring your soul to someone that already knows whats in there, comforting like your breath as your chest rises.
iii.
maybe im really a witch like you say. one eye of newt, three locks of your hair, two fights over nothing that you instantly regret bubbling in my cauldron in my kitchen on the 22 floor. The neighbours bang on the door, the smell is too great too disgusting too raw. You drink it anyway, hoping for a cure.
i.
You eventually realize there is no cure.
iii.
in the forest guided by moonlight and spirits, im summoned by my ancestors. We set effigies on fire we set the past on fire we set the future on fire. we learn the future is set in soft clay, not stone.
ii.
How many lives did we lead together? How many times have i rested my head on your chest how many times have you kissed my head and ive smiled i wonder if you made me smile often did we always love each other the same in vibrant colours?
i.
Were you always distant was i always crazy?
iii.
my cards say we were always perfect.
