02. 04. 19

by shannon-mcgovern

“I just wanted it to be Natural” she said. The morning I stabbed my face with an electric toothbrush. Cheese fries and football I sat giggling over tequila, wondering why my heart felt so at home walking down empty hallways echoing with murmurs and waterfalls. Crammed onto subway cars, and running fingers over octopi and battle scars. The words used to fall out of my mouth like teeth in a dream. But they all stopped until you. Now they are pouring out like a faucet. And I haven't enough buckets to catch them.
