Hell
/hel/
noun
i. This kitchen is too cluttered with empty spice containers and a broken coffee pot and tea that we both pretend to like because we know it's good for our health. I keep burning myself on the stove top. You stay silent at the dining room table.
ii. I stand on the edge of the tallest building in the city and I beg myself to jump and you beg me to stay and we both ignore the fact that the wind has the ultimate say.
iii. Staring at the ceiling fan in the dead of night gives me a headache and there's a blue glow from the television and you stare at it and I haven't seen you blink for the past two minutes and I wonder how many times your heart beats per second.
iv. In art class I lose my focus and I watch the paint dry and some of it drips down the length of the canvas and I have violent flashbacks of blood dripping down the expanse of my arm.
v. Red and white will clash every time. This isn't a fashion statement. It's the way my blood dries weird against the porcelain counter top.
