sometimes i think we won't make it. that's my biggest fear - that we will accidentally, intentionally hurt each other in the worst way possible. there would be no going back from that. when doors are slammed, voices raised, words breaking, jaws clenching. when we forget, for a moment, how to love. instead - we [...]

let it die when she does.
will i learn to resent you? i'm beginning to see parts of her in you. her legacy will remain that of a despotic regime. a hatred-filled reign of manipulation and domination. i fear that your hand holding mine will turn to steel, unforgiving shackles to tame; control to maintain. is this our heritage? [...]
our blood stains these cathedral walls
it's wanting to punch your fist through a wall. it's an open wound, bleeding - unbearable. contracting and retracting; my womb is shedding itself. a riotous force, armies in battle: stab, stab, stabbing. an almighty force, it symbolises my sexual maturity my monetary value in our society - i become property.

i am astounded by your brilliance
i am astounded by your brilliance, surrounded by a luminescence, a magnetism (a magnificence) completely primal. your eyes, they glitter with knowledge (laughter) an omniscience, an open window. i hear your laugh, a victorious exclamation of hilarity - everyoneย knows you, theyย yearnย to be within you, of you, around you. i don't think you're comfortable [...]

(itโs not manly to vacuum the house. you shouldnโt have to do the cooking, you're the man. donโt [...]
wildfire: come closer, i dare you
she comes in waves
she comes in waves. there's never a warning, it's always a surprise. unable to breathe left wanting, in need of air - gasping. tired eyes clenched tight - it'll pass soon. in the meantime, i'm left drowning, waiting. like someone sitting on my chest a heaviness i can't catch my breath. it's a dizziness, a [...]
they live in fear of her
they live in fear of her. she brings death, they claim. she loves misery, they say. she's withย him, they chant. she's lonely, she whispers to herself. she doesn't work for the devil but they fear that which they don't know, theyย fear herย because she isย magic. a queen, a sorceress of unimaginable [...]
i don’t really understand what this is about
i don't really understand what this is about. and by this i mean life and by life i guess i mean this right now. how odd how hard we work for what? wealth? legacy? death? but we all end up in the same place - in the ground or scattered around. we [...]
