Pretty Girls Don't Bleed by Emily Allison - HTML preview

insanity -

the moment i said

yes

after you

chewed your way

through my ribcage and

into my heart.

every text

from you

sends you

three feet

further away

from actually

coming up and

talking to me .

how can we be

so connected and

disconnected at the

same time?

i spun

wisps of

cobweb memories

around my fingers.

there are

special days

when i

kiss my

own lips and

tell myself that

it’s okay to

be alone.

when i

take a second and

draw my

j’s and my b’s,

my fingers

tingle and my

heart flutters

just a little bit.

when i ask to

spend a few

minutes alone

i’m not giving you

attitude.

i’m not being a

brat.

i simply need a

few moments on my

own to regain

consciousness and

close my eyes and

remember all of the

reasons i’m happy to

have both feet

on the ground.
