#loveanddepression
You’ll regret crying in my hands—   but only because   you’ll miss the way they held you. Your tears slip between my fingers like quiet reminders   of how far you’ve run   from the person you used to be. And still— I know you remember your feet each time they find their way   back to my door.     Instinct.       Muscle memory.         _Need._ You come back bare, and I wear you like a crown— delicate, dangerous,   balanced at the top of my thoughts. You are the ache I prioritize.   The storm I drink from.     The wound I keep pressing,       just to feel something again. While my friends fold hands in prayer to Jehovah, I’m just praying my depression doesn’t **** me over.__ Sometimes I’d rather believe in your skin   than in heaven— and sometimes,   I think your mouth is the closest   thing I’ll ever get to salvation. So we drink.   We touch. Not because it heals anything—   but because it delays        the end. Darling, we drink so this love doesn’t burn out. We drink   instead of breaking up. And when your mascara smudges   under my kiss, when your sighs leave trails   from your stained makeup, I taste the salt of your sadness— hidden beneath powdered cheeks   and perfectly drawn lips. We kiss   beneath mood lighting     and half-lies. We are mature enough to drink,   and broken enough to     __make up__       in every way       the word         dares to mean.
