THREE THINGS ABOUT LOVE
1. i used to think that hate was the only existing emotion strong enough to scar our being; this was before i realised that love burns the same holes into human skin.
2. i used to think that love was something found in dirty city streets, this was before i realised that you do not find love; love finds you and makes you bleed in places you never knew held blood - for example, your words.
3. cupid is just a nickname the devil gave to himself, and he does not fling arrows he shoots bullets without considering exit wounds.

TASTE YOU.
i don't know how else to tell you i no longer care for you or the cheap words you speak
because i've recently noticed that it doesn't matter how hard i push my fists into your heart, you don't feel a fucking thing.
maybe i've just grown old to ashes and wine or don't care to romanticise our flaws anymore,
or maybe you've always been this filthy -
and that's the thing, regardless of how long you've been this way i still will not love you in the morning
we used to have flowers and sunlight on the tips of our tongues but now you taste like bullets and blood
yuck
yuck
yuck
i do not want to taste you anymore.
