“I swallowed love whole like a peach,
juice dripping down my face.
the pit is rotting in my stomach
and here I am.”

“we're the adults here so we take naps in the
middle of the afternoon with the window open.
there's an ice cream truck singing down the street
and I haven't hung up my clothes. I text your mother
a picture of you on your first day of work and say
isn't he handsome. our toothbrushes sitting in a cup
on the edge of the sink are the most intimate thing
I have ever known.”

“all my grief says the same thing:
this isn't how it's supposed to be.
this isn't how it's supposed to be.
and the world laughs.
holds my hope by the throat.
says:
but this is how it is”

“I hurt myself just to prove I can.
I smoke cigarettes I don't want
and drink liquor that comes in plastic bottles.
I fall asleep and screaming at
love:
LOOK. YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE
WHO CAN DESTROY ME.
LOOK. I CAN DO IT MYSELF.”

“we pull the table into the corner of the room and lay the comforter down on the wood floor. I get the pillows and you open the wine. I wrap my body around yours and sigh into your chest. when you laugh catches in your throat I want to trap it in a jar and listen to it later. no one every says what a miracle it is to be in love and not suffer for it but every time I look at you, I know. I would fall asleep on the floor every night if it meant resting my head in our love.”
