more diamonds than pearls.
more starlet than wife.
more volatile than calm.
more peroxide than twinsets.
you kiss me goodnight and roll onto your side. within the minute you’re breathing heavy. i get so jealous of the way you sleep sometimes. i can hear the wind slamming doors somewhere. the rain is coming in through our windows, throwing itself against our walls. i don’t know what happened to summer.
i put my head next to your head and curl my toes against your calves. im that small next to you that sometimes i forget we’re not the same person. i forget that im not about to be folded up for your pockets. i am on tiptoes half of my life reaching up to kiss you. the other half you’re bending down to me. and when i write it down like that, when i look at us like this, sometimes i realise life ain’t so cruel.
