“If There Is Ever, Even For A Fleeting Moment, a Tiny Voice In Your Head, and That Tiny Voice Is

I don't mean to be creepy, but there's this giggle that people let out when they laugh with someone who truly means something to them. It's all teeth and abdominal muscles. Even the most annoying people are so honest and human and...untouchable; like nothing you do or say in that moment can affect them. I like it. I want it.

Silly you, smitten me.

Play by yourself. I have a suitcase full of fucks and I wear at least one everyday.

"Give me your hand. Make room for me to lead and follow you beyond this rage of poetry. Let others have the privacy of touching words and the love of loss of love. For me. Give me your hand."

Maya Angelou, Poetic Justice, 1993

"You're the calm to my storm. The type to make a deformed man reform. Blessed with a beautiful, mind you inform. I applaud."

I. T. Le'Croc

It takes a minute. Everything takes a minute. It doesn't register for a while, but God I hope you have time. I hope you have time.
