“

I miss you in tiny earthquakes.

In little underground explosions.

My soil is a hot disaster.

Home is burning.

You’re a lost thing.

You told me I seemed haunted
it was 3am and
you could still smell the storm clouds under my skin.
You can’t quell depression by making love.
But we tried. But we tried,
oh, we did.

“Loving someone

who hates themselves

is a special kind of violence,

a fight inside the bones,

a war within the blood.”
