I say, there—

my blood trembled at the verbal pronunciation mechanically released from my own mouth. i say what I want to anyone.

I say, there are some precautions that simply do not prevent hazards;

there are some glasses of liquor that are simply not worthy enough to run and breathe and taste and kiss and suffocate even half of your blood dying to become numb;

there are some memories that can never be uttered without the entire weight of abandoned love. there are some melancholy notes of days when stars glittered gold and words brought purpose to broken hearts;

there are some lives that were birthed dead.

I say, there I live one of those; there I’ve died in them, too.
