“All this time
I drank you like the cure when maybe
you were the poison.”
― Clementine von Radics

“Everything about my heart is a crime scene.
I drink to forget things it takes me 2 beers to name.
I pour my breath into things only worth forgetting.
I have nothing left to say to the ghosts.
Their cold hands and bitter mouths keep kissing me awake
when I have asked them nicely and then not-so-nicely
to be left alone.
I have nothing left to say to the ghosts.
Two decades full of nothing but monsters and crime scenes
and sometimes I am the monster and sometimes
I am the crime scene. There is nothing I would undo
so much as things I wish would wake up forgotten.”
― Clementine von Radics

“I’m scared you will realize I’m just bones and questions and leave me for something solid.”
― Clementine von Radics

“It’s just so strange.
You used to love me,
and now you’re a stranger
who happens to know all
of my secrets.”
― Clementine von Radics
