Seven things I should've known

[DropsOfJupiter]

1. I never really took notice of abandoned cities until I became one.

2. Honey, you are a gun and I a letter unsent.

3. There is safety in numbers: I started making lists of things I didn't dare say out loud. I am alone.

4. WHEN DID I STOP BEING A PERSON AND START BEING AN EXIT WOUND? WHEN DID MY HANDS STOP SHAKING LONG ENOUGH TO TRY AND HOLD SOMETHING WORTH SAVING.

5. How easy is it to melt into you? I never felt whole until I cut holes in my body.

6. Palms down palms down palms down palms down palms down

7. My skin told me "Honey, when you get there—stop being afraid of people wanting you to leave."
