I came home smelling like rain and cigarette smoke and teenage love and my mother grabbed me and said "darling don't you dare fall inlove." And I smiled and stuck my hand into my pocket and touched the note you had hidden in my pocket, where you said you were 22 degrees and I was the sun and I could melt you with my finger tips. I came home smelling like vanilla vodka and the lavender flowers you had stuck behind my ear and smudged lipstick and my mother notices the way your shirt hung off means was inside out and the way you made me give it back to you two days later and she brushed the hair out of my eyes and said "sweetheart don't you dare fall inlove." And I kissed her cheek and tried to put back together the necklace you gave me last night, the clasp was broken but I still swirled the chain around my fingers and it tasted like your skin of I were to put it in my mouth. I came home smelling like thunderstorms and fire and breakup songs and cheap vodka that made me throw up blood and rose thorns and smudged make up dripping down my face and my mother looked at me and knew it was too late.
