These days my bones are shifting, trembled things. I am more earthquake than anything.
BLAKE AUDENThese days my bones are shifting, trembled things. I am more earthquake than anything.
BLAKE AUDENPlease don’t let me sleep. I’ll only dream of her.
BLAKE AUDENEverything I know of love is told in the bruises we left on each other.
BLAKE AUDENShe lost herself, a little, in that darkness but returned with stars beneath her skin.
BLAKE AUDENYou touch me as though you have forgotten my skin.
BLAKE AUDENOf course, you don’t know how to love me. I’ve never known how to do that, either.
BLAKE AUDENI didn’t believe in forever. But I did believe in you.
BLAKE AUDENAnd again I wake up hoping today is the day I don’t miss you.
BLAKE AUDENMy body has always been a stranger. And it aches in a language I don’t understand.
BLAKE AUDENAll I really know is whatever the cost you’re worth it.
BLAKE AUDENI can’t imagine a universe where she is anything other than a masterpiece.
BLAKE AUDENWhat a terrifying thing it is to heal.
BLAKE AUDENYou are more than the things that have hurt you.
BLAKE AUDENTo survive is to drag yourself from the water and forget what it is to swallow salt.
BLAKE AUDENSome days, all of it aches with beauty. Others, it all just aches with you.
BLAKE AUDENEven heartbreak can find a way to feel like home.
BLAKE AUDEN
