May has daffodil eyes, tastes of spring water. She is a spring tantrum. Hail ricochets off her bones. Petals form a nest around her heart. She swallows wisps of clouds, stains her fingers with wild berries. Weaves poison ivy through her hair. She never wants to be anything soft or disposable. She has honeyed skin, vanilla mouth. Sugar sweet girl. Broken glass wedged in between fists. Holds her breath, drains the pink from her cheeks. Turns herself blue. Says, I was never built for spring. I am the skeletons in the closet. The ghosts in the basement. I am the outcast, dressed up like a pageantry.
May Pt. II, Angelea Lowes (via angelealowes)
