my soul

i’ll do the fighting
for you
until you can fight

for us all

Thursday 5 October 2017

Women have
Acted ladylike
Dressed modestly
Been good little girls
For centuries

And look
where it got us

Did not wearing a short skirt
Stop the men
from ripping off our clothes
And taking what they thought was theirs?

Did acting like a lady and shutting up
Stop our boyfriends
From making rape jokes
And rolling their eyes as we tried not to cry?

Did being polite girls
Stop the male teachers
From boring their eyes into our chests
When we just wanted to learn?

Did you ever think
That maybe It’s not
Women
Who need to change their behaviour?

lock the cage
around my heart
bind my mouth
with rope
so neither
may betray me
again
Love in all its forms; romantic, platonic, familial.
Is the greatest drug in the world


-Other than Prozac, that is
my god
darling
i didn’t
think
it was
possible
to love
you
even more


-you surprise me again

What 'I Love You' Means

You made me dinner
You surprised me with breakfast
I love how comfortable I feel in your flat
I love that you want me in here

You brought me snacks when I’m hungover
I’m sorry I’m hungover
I’m sorry I got drunk and cried
I messed up
Please don’t leave

You made me laugh so hard I can’t breathe
You’re getting that meanness is affection
I hope you know I’m joking
Was I being too mean?

I’m scared that was too far
You’re still here
I know you’re not going anywhere
I hope you’re not going anywhere

Your kisses are electric
I missed you
Thank you
There’s no other way to express it

You held my hand and guided me
You held my hand and let me guide you
You make me feel safe

I love that you love me too
