“I want you everywhere, by my side and between my thighs. I want your flowers in my hair and your name under my nails. I want you with me, your sugar in my tea, my eyelashes on your sheets. Write your name on me, when my heart breaks, I want it to be blinding.”

— - Du, J.M  (via 24ribs)

This was the first poem that I posted on my tumblr that took off — I can still remember who I wrote it about, I remember the notifications, I remember the dropshipping websites that started printing it on T-shirts and posters, and the fact that I never made any money from them stealing it.

After ten years away from tumblr, I’m back - with a weaker version of my original username - and a book! It’s been a decade since I last shared hastily written poems on here, and all that old angst has instead been channeled into this: a real life novel.
