lie down somewhere and suffer for love until
it nearly kills me, and then I want to get up again
and put on that little black dress and wait
for you, yes you, to come over here
and get down on your knees and tell me
just how fucking good I look.”
- Kim Addonizio, from ‘For Desire’ (via re-wordings)
Azra!!!!! I love you!!!!! I'm really not coherent and flowery with words but I really, really, really, really love you and it hurts because i'll never marry you ok I just give u warm hugs and beautiful things ok
I’ll totally marry you!!! Where you wanna meet at? City centre in thirty? We can catch a train to somewhere and get married there. Bring some cake please I love you too!
I thank God in heaven that you and I exist at the same time. I've been in an abusive relationship for the past three years, and now, thanks to reading your poem, "Your hands are threads, your body is a canvas", and crying for what felt like eons, I have th
I’ve been deliberating how to respond to this message and the only thing I can say is that, when I get low and ask myself what the point of all this is, women like you, strong, brave and constantly growing women, help me through. I am so proud of you.
but i think kisses like that perpetuate the need of men to be aggressive/masculine and leads to things like if i put my hand on her throat, consent doesn't matter. im a man, i own this body. i have a right to it. ya know??
I’m inclined to disagree with you to the extent that if a man I didn’t trust tried to put his hands on my throat, I’d break his fingers. Kisses like that, cradling the face, cupping the back of the neck, holding the throat, they come from a place of great trust because one twitch and the person kissing you can do serious damage.
oh my lord i am watching Daredevil and the first time he kisses her, he puts his hand on her throat...
oh my lord i am watching Daredevil and the first time he kisses her, he puts his hand on her throat and his hand is so big and her throat looks so vulnerable and she just breathes into the touch and i am hyperventilating

terrible.
You’re gonna kiss someone with
that mouth and it’ll all be over
when you do.
They’ll look for you everywhere.
They’ll come back as a ghost
just to find your lips again.”

Azra tell me about the boy you're soft for.
You know I was speaking to him just a little while ago about this question and how I didn’t know what to say except that he reminds me of the word “serendipity” because he was unexpected and amazing and he softly just murmured “am I like that?”
I'd really, really like to know your snapchat. You're so beautiful and inspiring and everything; you're all sunshine and woman and I think it's beautiful. Thank you, Azra.
It’s azratabassum, thank you you’re so so lovely xxx
