they will never understand the dull knifes edge that is loving someone that will never be able to learn how to melt into my soft edges and butterfly fingers there are no hard planes here, only rolling plains and browning flower petals that shrivel up between imaginary weddings a lace veil lies forgotten on church steps and i wilt, a bouquet i will never toss crumbling within my shaking hands

when she smiles my heart tries to escape my ribcage and it reaches for her, love me please love me love me love me, i am so close to shattering apart

so it goes, i suppose, my love pooling in my stomach making me dry heave as i watch her tangle herself around him she kills me softly, sweetly, slowly, and all i can do is try to hold on as she rocks me overboard i drown in california rainstorms and like them, i only last for ten minutes
you ruin me and i love you for it

vonnegut has so many good quotes so i think i should read him
