Snow insulates the insulation wrapped around my meat and bones.
An extra 2 layers to keep the cold out.

Each pill ceases consumption and the amber **** disappears into thousands of days of memories. My body starts to thaw and my heart beats so hard it's visible through the thin skin on my chest.

You become nothing and he becomes so much more that everything has to be re-thunk...

I don't have to be anything but what I already am and when I want more I take comfort in knowing I am not what I was before.

The Rules

Stand tall, shoulders back
Cross your legs
Play with your hair
Lick your lips
Don't talk too much...
Dress ****, feminine
Don't laugh uproariously
Smell good, feel smooth
Don't argue
argue...but don't try to win
Giggle
Flirt
Have babies
Behave
Be polite
Act ****
Play games, hard to get
Don't phone, don't act eager
Keep secrets
Pray you are pretty enough
Always be a little weaker
All this to give, to be happy, to land a man,
and all he has to do is expect it.
