"I've hoarded
your name in my mouth for months. My throat
is a beehive pitched in the river. Look!
Look how long this love can hold its breath."
Sierra DeMulder, from "Your Love Finds Its Way Back" in Today Means Amen
But she wants to-
"I want to embrace my insides, I want to accept my worst, I want to kiss my scars. Desperately, I just want to love myself till peace settles in my veins."
Maram Rimawi
And then she-
"...but you are always too intense
frightening in the way you want him
unashamed and sacrificial
he tells you that no man can live up to the one who
lives in your head
and you tried to change didn't you?
closed your mouth more
tried to be softer
prettier
less volatile, less awake
but even when sleeping you could feel
him travelling away from you in his dreams
so what did you want to do love
split his head open?
you can't make homes out of human beings
someone should have already told you that
and if he wants to leave
then let him leave
you are terrifying
and strange and beautiful
something not everyone knows how to love." -
Warson Shire
The Girl remembers then, that-
"If love is anything tangible, it
is his mouth
his mouth,
his holy god damned mouth.
He says my name and the whole sky is talking."
Caitlyn Siehl, from 'Tasting the Moon'
