I’m not writing to feel. I’m not writing to heal. I’m not writing to be a creative. I’m writing to live.

A Thought on Love
Two years later and I don’t know what’s worst. To not love at all or to fall out of love? I didn’t rise in love, I drowned in it. I shed my skin for love, exposing all my fucking scars. The scars I thought your love would heal. The scars I thought your love would kiss and make love to. The scars I thought love would hide. I don’t know what’s worst. To once love or to never want to love again?

A Thought on Love
Our love is dead. Once this tragedy is over I hope we can return to the way we were.
