“I keep saying over and over. I’m sorry but I have to go now you are not my person.”

I meet you and know suddenly and horribly there is no difference between sex and war that I must die to get that close to touching god.

You loved me gray sweatpants and I loved you drunk on stouts and I am velveeta mac and cheese.

Good morning. The sun is 93 million miles away her light takes 8 minutes to find you each day. You are on purpose.

I want you as a lemon the waiter brings on a tiny white plate. I want him to watch while I squeeze you into my mouth and swallow the rind.

The point is that I loved.

The uncharted territory of the western amazon is called the mother of god.

When I was six I fell on a broken window. Once I realized no one was coming I stopped screaming and pulled the shard from my middle. This is life for some of us. This has been life for me.

The most revolutionary act women can do is take back the life that belongs to you.

My entire life I’ve waited for a man to teach the world how to treat me and if he’d step in and convince them all.

I should now admit I once made a fake account just to talk to you once more.

It finally happened like I thought it might I run into you.

Hour 36 of labor. I pull at god’s necktie dig a hole at the hospital floor.

You can’t go to a kindergarten teacher after me.

One tornado I lived through got the house.

The argentinian kisses me on a beach in tulum.

May my children never read this.

Even mermaids come up for air.

You don’t know what God can do with your broken pieces until you give God your broken pieces.

Is there still time? or will we remain past tense.

Holding on to things only breaks your heart.

You can love someone and still make the choice to let them go.

Even Castles made of sand, fall into the sea, eventually.

Let things break you wide open, that’s where the golden light is.

You didn’t just cheat on me; you cheated on us. You didn’t just break my heart; you broke our future.
