kiss with your eyes open because eyelashes sprouting out of the blue-pink of eyelids will test the powdery depths of your heart and make you forget

stand half in half out the door, light pouring over your body
stand in a white button up and tube socks and hold the hand of someone you love (you will get sweaty and embarrassed)
stand outside and watch the stars flicker
cry because of light pollution and because you're small and that hurts you

ache at the sight of fake flowers, and self conscious 12 year olds and the feeling of only having one body
document your sadness because maybe it'll make you ache less
it won't

pay attention in chemistry and watch as you see the world assembled before you in a mess of ethyl methyl oxide

you will never escape this world without bruises lining your ribs and kiss marks all down your neck and that is okay
you will never escape without aching and that is okay
you will hurt

sit up at night and paint your nails sometimes and try your best to change the world

ache

ache
shitty clichéd etc etc

i feel like i might just wander away from this here site... i'm never on and i never feel like it's right anymore.
