breatheI met her when I was seventeen. I remember, it was third period on Thursday, Maths. I couldn't not notice her. She walked in slowly, dark hair and gray-green eyes. They reminded me of the sea.

In her mind, if you only had one day to live you wouldn't worry about what you had or hadn't done yet. She liked to tell people that butterflies are like what we wished we were; simple and honest.

"Hey sweet-cheeks, wanna come for a ride?" he smiled at her and pointed to the passenger seat, an unopened bottle of home-brand liquor laying on the floor. The passfancy


honesty is not a streetshe was pulling at apple peels like corroded arteries and she was telling you about the meaning of toy soldiers but you are glazed over eyes and hard-to-pronounce syllables.honesty is not a street
she climbs trees because she prefers the wind when she's ten meters off the ground. she tells you that a picture is worth a thousand words but just give her a two words in a sentence and she'll show you a thousand ideas.
and that is what we really are, you know. we are ideas and facial expressions and burnt sea shells lying on handmade coffee tables.

it's not a metaphor.my love for youit's not a metaphor.
is not how the stars
kiss the moon behind veils of clouds it is not the way your voice sounds like
a million angels singing only to me .
no. fuck that.
it's your tits. it's the way you moan my name when you orgasm. it's the way your hair is bushy first thing in the morning and the way you flinch when i touch you. it's how i get jealous. how i make you feel like a whore. how you break down crying. it's how you lie to me. about everything . about everything but the fact that you love me.
it's how we cried


artificial facality.my name is lissa spelled with two s's and a heart above the i and my eyes are milky blue oceans with sharp edges and i'm drowning the one sprinkle of brown i inherited from my mum in my ocean.artificial facality.

and i have broken blood vessels in all the places you kissed me and you can hide yourself in the purple shadows under my eyes
and i have 103 moles. i counted.
my fingers aren't double jointed and i don't have a hitchhike thum
