First Kiss

I knew I was going to kiss someone that night. Not any kiss But my first kiss I kept on telling everyone I have personal space issues and I need to be tipsy to let someone in. (Which I do.) There they were already lined up Eeny-meeny… oh I choose you. If I was sober, my heart would be racing, my skin would crawl and I would dare let you touch me. He then told me that he waited three times for me to kiss him. Me? What? I can't remember your face right now, I hope I someday will. I know you had a beard and a good haircut. I left, wanting to stay. But I knew I wouldn't get willing participants soon. But I found you again. Whispered things in your ear "Well then, why don't you just kiss me…" And it was like magnets drawing together Your lips on mine and without fail your tongue in my mouth and suddenly mine in yours. It was a dance And you took the lead This time I didn't overthink it. We kissed, stopped, and… I told you I really needed to go (I didn't want to.) You held onto me and I wanted to drink you in. (I wanted to kiss you more.) I left. All I want to do now is kiss you But I'm struggling to recall your face, I get glimpses. I went to sleep feeling your tongue pressed against mine

How to break your heart in 8 easy steps

How to break your heart in 8 easy steps

1. Fall in love. Fall slowly Fall gently Fall until you hear the splat on the concrete floor Remember: Falling is not always a requirement.

2. Repeat their name Repeat it until you believe it Repeat it because you need to believe it Repeat it until it sounds gibberish Repeat it until your mouth bleeds Remember: only one person is required to do this

3. Spend time thinking of them Spend all your time Spend most of your time Spend some of your time Spend time thinking of them and their lips, their eyes, their hands, the way they laugh Remember: Time spent thinking will not be refunded.

4. Worry Worry about them Worry what they think Worry if they’re still in to you Just fucking worry. Remember: if you’re not worrying, do you really care?

5. Try not to cry Try not to overthink it Reminder: crying only shows that you were invested in it.

6. Mess it all up Mess it all up by confronting them Mess it all up by making a joke Mess it up You’re always the mess Reminder: only one party will take the blame

7. Crumble Make apple crumble Walk through crumbling walls Break down, cry, rebuild your walls. Reminder: too much apple crumble is unhealthy

8. Break your heart Break it down and place it in a fortress Break it and be the mess Break it and worry about everyone else but yourself Place your heart on a timer to self destruct Break into sweat repeatedly about that moment Break your heart in the same leap you took to fall Reminder: heart break is not serviceable under the guarantee.

Just a simple reminder to myself as I fall in love with a friend.

They made us

They got inside of us and made us bleed While we tore at each others throats Clinging on to a hope that didn't exist We never saw them climb inside We became them Or did they become us? Our hands leaving trails of red Taking down those around us We turned into rivers Running black Leaving a bitter taste in mouths that never knew us We then became mountains Crushing those in our way With frost tipped peaks, veins of red and black running through us We came undone Then twinning into everything Taking everything that was not ours Were we still us? Or was it them? They made us bleed before birthing them They looked like us But we were them Before we became them

Just Don't

Don't fall in love with me I have a tear in my soul Whatever a soul may be. It's not a tear, it's a big black hole Where constellations circle around Compacted with matter In this case everything Everything that matters Don't touch me My skin will taint you Soaked by ink that will never wash off I am stained to the core Don't fall in love with me I'll become addicted to you Addicted to your face Your eyes Smile Your voice Addicted to your being But I would be a seed That would grow into a tree Tearing you from inside And you will grow thorns To protect yourself from me Don't fall in love with me I will leave a tear in your soul Staining your skin Black with my love Wishing you could wash me out.

You’re a story I no longer want to tell. You’re words I no longer want to speak, I no longer want to burn on my tongue. You’re thoughts I no longer want to think. You’re a voice I no longer want to listen to. You’re no longer the path I want to walk on and you’re no longer the person I will cut myself open for every night, trying so hard to please you, trying so hard to be exactly who you want me to be. I will no longer bleed for you. Never again.

There's something magical about walking underneath trees.

It's my Ouma's 81st birthday. I thought I'd make her a card. So much love for this woman. 😍

Teenage Gillian used to take better photos than grownup Gillian. Let that sink in.

[inkjellybean]

Walking and talking. I still take bad photos. Beautiful days like these are irreplaceable.

Years of research. Months of silently crying when I lost my very first draft. Doing more research, building up confidence again. Here's to a sore, cramping hand; tired writing and late nights to come. Let's see if I can do this. #writing #amwriting #handwritten
