purgatory, in jessica’s very humble opinion, smells like blonde hair dye. ache settles deep within hollowed out bones, carnivorous and familiar, stark in similitude to nursery rhymes & the feeling of weightlessness. it goes like this : take a hold of a bird’s wings and RIP ! or even better, chase ruby -- red droplets with trembling fingertips, smear the liquid across pallid skin until there is nothing left but the vague idea of what skin ought to look like. “ i’m crashing on your couch. ” limping lioness, sharp canines hidden behind a half -- smile, smoke infused voice trails at the end in a semblance of a question. the doorframe digs painfully into already injured side, but she puts more pressure against bleeding shoulder, rolls her tongue over grotesque split lip. the smile looks more feral than reassuring. “ you got anything to drink ? ” / @warbinary sc.
