"It's okay," she whispered, a golden tear falling from her eye.

"You don't have to love me."

He shook his head, brushing her tear away. "But I do."

She smiled sadly,

and did not argue,

because she was dying,

and wanted to pretend that he did love her,

that he wasn't slipping her golden teardrop into his wallet.

As cold metal twisted painfully in her gut, she smiled.

her lips are soft as they brush against my ear

her voice dripping thick with honey

whispering sweet nothings

that taste so sickeningly sweet

her fingers are fire

setting my entire being alight

as she drags her freahly manacured nails

up and down my spine

and i get high on the fantasy

breath it, inhale it, live it

aching to know what it feels like

to love a girl

"I've discovered that I'm worth it. I've dealt with thoughts of 'you're not good enough' my whole life; they have this way of flooding back when someone walks out of your life. Nonetheless, I am one of a kind, limited edition, only-one-ever, I'm valuable."

I have galaxies within me

I have constellations where bones should be

I have ghosts that surround me

I have spirits where soul should be

I have an ocean within me

I have a current running through me; whirlpools where crossroads should be

I have a storm that surrounds me

I have thunder in my chest; lightning where ease should be

And I have a longing inside of me,

It seeps through my skin,

I long to be set free.
