I think it’s kinda terrifying how someone can be one of the most important people in your life at a certain point and then a few months later you’ve forgotten their voice or how their hands felt or how they made you feel when you were together and I guess it makes me sad because it’s good to forget the bad things but it’s not so good to forget the great ones

I wanna look so fucking badass and scary on the street that men will stop and rethink trying to engage me in any of their gross leery shenanigans because of my goddamn medusa glare and shoes

“I design clothes because I don’t want women to look all innocent and naïve…I want woman to look stronger…I don’t like women to be taken advantage of…I don’t like men whistling at women in the street. I think they deserve more respect. I like men to keep their distance from women, I like men to be stunned by an entrance. I’ve seen a woman get nearly beaten to death by her husband. I know what misogyny is … I want people to be afraid of the women I dress””

That last post? The Lipstick Poem? Yeah, that one. That's it. You wrote that about me, my child. And I can't thank you enough. I feel that way all the time. The complete disregard for reality and the need for his touch, even though it was never totally min

You know you don’t need him right? You’re wonderful without him? I hope you know that.

"Ask me if I’ve called my mother. Ask me if I miss you. Ask me if I haven’t showered in five days...."

“Ask me if I’ve called my mother.

Ask me if I miss you.

Ask me if I haven’t showered in five days.

Ask me if I’m still wearing your dirty clothes.

Ask me whether I’ve brushed my hair.

Ask me if the kitchen cabinets have been touched in weeks.

Ask me about the dust.

Ask me about the phone calls.

Ask me about the 5AM drunk and the way I’ve been standing in the dark, letting the shadows hug my hips because your hands are gone.

Ask me to come back.

Ask me why the long silences make it feel like there’s a river in my stomach.

Ask me if it will swallow me whole.

Ask me if I want your mouth back.

Ask me if I want my tongue back.

Ask me if I miss you.

Ask me if I’ve ate.

Ask me if God exists inside of me anymore.

Ask me where the music is.

Ask me where the symphony is.

Tell me where you are.

And then ask me if I miss you.”

"Forgive me father for I have sinned, I have loved a woman more desperately than I have loved God. I..."

“Forgive me father for I have sinned,

I have loved a woman more desperately than I have loved God. I have looked to a woman more reverently than I have the sky. There, in the sulk of her bottom lip, I find myself talking about a heaven that only exists when she is looking at me,

father she has not been forged between the dip of my teeth, she is not my rib, or my left side, she is my entire stomach, she is my spine.

I have been searching for prayer, father but I have found that I can only say her name

Dear God, let me have her

Dear God, let her rest with me

Dear God, let the sky turn red from how we burn

The plum tree in our back garden has withered because I have not seen the sun for five days. I have been worshipping at the cradle of her hips

father, she has cleansed me with those hands and those eyes, I do not know how to turn unless it is towards her, I do not know where to go except in her direction.”

Is your poem "take me to church" inspired by the song Take Me To Church by Hozier?? Bc like they have the same feel to it. And I love that song so now I love that poem like a lot???

It is, yes! I was going through a Hozier craze and in fact, still am. I’m glad you like it xxx

Take your hands off him
'cos he's the only one that I've ever loved
and please don’t find her skin
when you turn the lights out
