excerpts from a book i’ll never write #1

gods live inside your bones. 

they rest their heads in between your bloodline and bone. 

i swear to god she said she hated brown eyes 

but fell in love with mine. 

her hands shook so hard and i thought i could fix that. 

but i can’t fix the roots that have been implanted since you were born. 

i swear to god she looked at me like she was looking at heaven for the first time. 

and i looked at her the same way. 

love is an understatement when it came to her. 

she had flowers growing out of her every pore 

and her hair was like the wind, 

it blew so gently that you would think all the angels died.

she hated feet yet would tangle hers with mine every night. 

she hated drinking and so i stopped drinking. 

im not religious but i can swear to god 

that i loved that girl with all of my body and mind.
