There’s this girl on first shift and she’s ******* magic and won’t be mine because I’m trouble and I break **** and she’s fragile and lovely. She tells me she’s unstable and damaged and I could cry every night if I wasn’t so convinced I can get over this. I half *** so much but I obey my emotions. When she gave me her number I sang, “what if?” When she asked if I was in an open relationship I thought, “I wish.” When I was single, she came over and I whispered, “I just want this.” However, I try to play it cool and send love subtly, but I’m a ******* and a *** and a loser and I can’t drown my sorrows in anything so they keep me up at night. She came into my life like a hurricane and I was swept off my feet, but I made the conscious decision to be loving to her. I cut a hole out exactly her size and she kissed me on the lips and said no. She got diagnosed with cancer again and decided to quit fighting and I want to kiss every inch of her and make her feel like she was always deserving of the best love someone could give. I want to kiss every part of her skin and make her better again because she is the light of any room she’s in. I want to kiss her, but I’m ***** from throwing myself in the gutter, from trying to **** strangers, from singing sad songs, from losing more sleep every night, from hurting people I love and hurting myself to hurt them more. There’s this girl on first shift and she’s absolute magic and I loved her too soon. She’s fading from the inside, out, while I rot from the outside, in.

"When My Heart Gets Smashed it's a Firesale."
