Favorite Quote:
i will never understand
why you held me
if you were afraid of warmth

you should have known
i was fire

- Rupi Kaur , the sun and her flowers



You have taken

everything

that matters,

stolen all,

but my ability

to breathe

And even that

is wavering

with your hands

around my throat

The small spark of life

left inside my body

flickers

in your presence

I'm tempted to put it out

before you do
