a timeline // 2017-18, i fell in & out of love with you // - you led me down the valleys that had blooms fuller than your tufts of sandy hair. canals and channels that held out all of our longing kisses full of anticipation. your hands held my arms and made my heart melt. in the garden, the stars are perfectly aligned into pure beauty and when i turn skyward, it reminds me of the soft, pale waves of your lips. rose pedals and wine staining your skin and the slight stench of cigarette smoke shrouding the bubbled water of your running bath. the way you say my name is a crime of retrospective sadness and the way you hold me in your arms is a trial of collapsing & shooting stars.

Consolation: ~the comfort received by a person after a loss or disappointment. A bunch of poems that describe the way I feel, the way others feel and a selection of random topics. • This book exposes the fragile side of myself, so please handle with care :) • Rhyming? Never heard of her! :) • I hope you enjoy <3
