“I held you through all your shifts of structure: While your bones turned from caved rock back to marrow, the dangerous fur faded to hair,

the birds cry died in your throat,

the tree bark paled from your skin,

the leaves from your eyes.”

- Margaret Atwood, from “Eventual Proteus” featured in Selected Poems: 1965-1975 (via watchoutforintellect)

“Sure, I wish the universe could clear its throat.

Sure, I’m sick of the source of great fire

always being the sun. A few nights ago he peeled off of me

as if he were my own skin and he didn’t want the job.”

Darling. Please tell me how to leave my long term partner without feeling this crippling guilt?

Sometimes you just need to do things for yourself. For your own self of well-being, for whatever it is that’s inside you that needs to get out. People love you and you don’t ask them to. Sometimes you fall out of love with them. Sometimes you stay in love but it’s still not right. How your partner reacts, what he feels, it’s not your responsibility. What is your responsibility is how you treat yourself. With love and patience and striving for the life you deserve.

“She’ll put her throat in your open hands and close her eyes. This is what trust looks like. Dip your fingers into her swollen mouth. Lean closer, breathe the words, you’ll fill her like this: ‘you are so beautiful and I’m going to put my hands everywhere.’”

I've missed your words. They've always reminded me how human I am, how everything I feel about the world around me is real and that I'm alive, right now, witnessing the sun rise like I've never seen it before. They remind me just how beautiful people reall

Kiss me quick

"Loving someone who cannot love you the same way in return is not weakness. It’s one of the most..."

“Loving someone who cannot love you the same way in return is not weakness. It’s one of the most courageous things you’ll ever do. You are putting your armour at their feet and you are saying ‘I will not fight you in this. I have loved you and that means that I have already won.”

i think my husband is emotionally abusing me. he has regular fits of anger that mark the walls of our home & his own skin with all the negativity and hatred he holds for this world. i feel i can do no right by him, no matter how i try. i'm terrified of him

it sounds like your husband is abusing you and i’m so sorry that it’s happening to you. i think that you need to go and speak with a professional about it. i’m just a 22 year old poet and i’m not qualified to give you advice, i certainly don’t want to be irresponsible about it. on the other hand, if you’d like to talk to me, just talk and get some love and kindness, you can always always send me a message. 

My friend never takes me seriously when I tell them that something they did hurt me and they just disregard my feelings and it see it as a joke

nobody needs friends like that.
