the poem i mentioned- with props to ani difranco.
yes, i’ve been done wrong
but am i really
the one with the heartache?
the one with all the pain?
because you seem pretty shameless
with your now untouchable face
but as hour follows hour
who you seem to be
gives way to who you really are.
when i was a superhero
wandering aisles full of hallmark cards
i thought i might be able
to strip that part of you away
with both hands.
but i know now
that although there is comfort
where we overlap
you are not worthy of me
and i was a fool to think you were.
i'm not one to brag...
but i wrote an excellent poem yesterday. i secretly want to turn it into a song. we’ll see. i’ll post it later :)
“When there is nothing left to burn, you have to set yourself on fire.”
—Stars, “Your Ex-Lover Is Dead” (via evollove) (via quote-book)
“You can feel that he wants to own you - not like an object but like a good dream he wants to keep having. He lets you know that you already own him.”
—Melissa Bank, The Girls’ Guide to Fishing and Hunting (via yearslater) (via quote-book)
