If one more person tells me that "change is inevitable," I might just spontaneously combust into a pile of ash and prove them right.

I did everything they told me to do.

I crossed off "stay alive" on my to-do list and congratulated myself on a job well done.

I celebrate the small things-

Hearing my sister's voice over the phone, making my friends laugh, getting a new scented candle for my bedroom.

I celebrate the small things because they are really the big things if you look hard enough.

I hope that loving me isn't the hardest thing anybody has ever had to do.

I hope I'm making this journey a little easier.

I miss the person I was when I wasn't this sad.

Tuck you in, kiss your head

Roll a cigarette and step

Onto your balcony

In a single fluid movement.

"Baby, what are you thinking about?"

"If our fathers weren't ghosts,

And our mothers loved the way they were supposed to,

Would love and mutilation be synonymous?"

When you are young,

They assume you know nothing

But I knew that you would linger like a tattoo kiss,

I knew that you would haunt all of my what-ifs

I knew that you tried to change the ending,

Peter

Losing

Wendy

I knew you, leaving like a father

Running

Like

Water

I knew everything when I was young

Lovers sometimes say they would like to eat each other, expressing their tender desire for incorporation.

Oral sex, as not quite an act of endocannibalism, is surely one of the forms closest to consuming the lover's body.

In the Old Testament this form of metaphorical endocannibalism is most explicitly expressed in the Song of Solomon, where the woman's body is associated with the garden and the various parts of her body baring fruits, freely offered to her lover for consumption.

Like eating, the sexual act makes two bodies one, though the union is less absolute and permanent.

The desire to become one, however, can easily turn into aggression.

Kissing and eating are both oral activities, and at an extreme level of intensity the erotic and aggressive sides of incorporation cannot be distinguished.

Thus it becomes difficult to say at what point the desire for consummation turns into the desire for consumption.
