Ava

let the stars inside you breathe,before the darkness swallows them whole.let them burn through your skinand light this whole goddamn world on fire.

show me all the parts of you that you do not love so i know where to begin.

things keep falling in and out of place. this is the universe's way of taking care of me.

there's always been a little sadnessinside my happiness.i've never been able to separate the two.

my feelings tend to last longerthan my lovers doand it's made a monsterout of my heart.

the woman is rain,and when she falls,she is a monsoon.to love her is to drown.

woman-another word for beginning.another word for revolution.another word for healing.another word for being.another word for me.

i am a woman and i am alone,and i cannot tell which one of the twoi love being more.

you wanted it all to make senseand you wanted the most complicated answer, but the answer is simple.just be.

love is my thighs,this belly,my eyes.love is my speech,the search,my cry.love is myself in the mirror.i will see love every time.

you'd take one look at me and whole pieces of the earth would break off and fall away finally leaving me alone with you.

oh, the heartbreakingly beautiful tender weight of being human.

i would've done anything to make you happy.i think you knew that.i think this is why you knew you had to let me go.

i do not know how to live tepidly.i was never built to fit in.i live by my souland my soul is insane.

there is something magical and addicting about going somewhere, being alone, and finding yourself in parts of the world you never knew existed, finding parts of yourself you never knew you would find.

i let you love me.i let you take care of me.i let you do things to meno one was allowed to do before.

i am learning that when love wants to stay it will stay.i am learning that when love wants to go it will go.

everyone is in a hurry and things are always disappearing, and i am always left standing here--alone, waiting for the things that stay.
