my name is august auggie is a cute nickname but august will always stick to my fingers and clothes (it’s sexier to whisper when he’s ********** me) i am kind and gentle is it possible to be too gentle? yes it is because why else do they leave? why else did he leave? (i am a pomegranate they think too much to work and unpeel. they cannot handle the juice stains that come with the fruit, that’s why they buy the already prepared ones from the store.) im too gentle where i find security and give love in holding his hand, he feels cold handcuffs rusting around his wrist when i’m done holding him there are claw marks and blood dripping down from harshly teared skin are my fingers razors, sharp like the blades i hold to my own wrist? i am kind, i am too kind that i choke the others around me honey dripped words i force down their throat, too layered and thick for them to handle while i smile at them stupidly not knowing i am the criminal i try to be soft, i try to be kind, i try to be gentle but i think the causing problem is that they forget i like to be called auggie although my name is not august. it never was.

August Used to Pick Flowers with Vines that would Choke Her While Her Friends Looked Obliviously
love is “an intense feeling of deep affection” they say what a meager definition for such a consuming feeling to me, to love is to be a cannibal for one’s heart to love is to consume— to search and to learn and to listen to their souls to be dead and be raised from the grave just by their voice my love takes up all their hearts space even when i wasn’t even invited and yet i still ache with more to give to love is to listen so deeply that my ears bleed to love is to drink their words eat their maggots i love head to toe bones and all— until you evaporate because my love was too strong but in my head you’re still here because I still never gave you all my love after all.
