#milkandhoney
If I collected my tears in a bottle, left it to the sea's mercy Would you search for my tears among all that water? Or would you just laugh with your liquid eyes And lend me some milk and honey, milk and honey The constellation of freckles mapped on your nose Remind me of our milky way galaxy, of milk and honey My eyes are leaking milk My lips are drooling honey Me eyes and lips leave behind Milk and honey, milk and honey Sometimes my words seem as empty as your promises And that tears me apart worse than your love ever did Limb by limb, ***** by ***** kiss by kiss you dissected my love till I had nothing left to prove Now I'm left wondering who made mistakes Who sent me this bottle of milk and honey, milk and honey? My eyes are watered by milk My lips are touched by honey My eyes and lips are flavored with Milk and honey, milk and honey Why do your cuss words sound like milk and honey? You might be pathetic but oh what a pretty liar Promises dripping with the water from your liquid eyes If the symphony of my love ever touches your heart Send me some milk and honey, milk and honey Till then, I will l lie among the fallen pinecones My eyes are turning into milk My lips are turning into honey My eyes and lips are now simply Milk and honey, milk and honey ~If I ever wrote about milk and honey I would write about you~ - n.g. // my fingers are sticky with your milk and honey //

My fingers are sticky with your milk and honey
I tremble at the thought of falling in love with a tiny part of someone and mistaking it for the whole -rupi kaur

Listening to Arcade Fire’s Milk and Honey, I am slowly drowning in a sea of memories and melancholic images of things I’ve always wanted but will probably never have. My body soaked in bubbling foam, lying on the border of wet and dry sand, softly being kissed by a morning suns warmth after having been brought back to shore by the same waves that dragged me out

the thing about having an alcoholic parent is an alcoholic parent does not exist simply an alcoholic who could not stay sober long enough to rise their own kids
