Summer unloaded

some lines that have been floating around without homes

That's not how we work

That's not how we've ever worked

For f***s sake I work hard

And you say I don't

It's like a man telling me

periods aren't that bad

When I woke up to vomit this morning at 5

And bled through my favorite panties 

So I could put on this stupid button up blouse that doesn't fit around my chest

and listen to the s**t that falls out of your mouth at the water cooler

------

If there was a murderer in the back seat of the car

I hope his heart would be warmed

By the heat of our laughter

And if his hands wrapped around my throat

I'd hope you'd keep singing

If he shot us anyway

I hope we were holding hands

-------

Sometimes I feel like I'll die after my first kiss

In a sense I will,

Just like I died a second ago

And the second after that.

-----------

I want to slay giants

And fly on dragon's shoulders

But I feel like I'll be a lady in waiting

what a great conglomeration of thoughts...that even though they don't exactly tie together, they do.

all of the wishes and then all of the reality of how it really is...yes, what does a man know?

often not much at all...he sees life through a different perspective...often naive and narrowly focused...

i died for many seconds after my first kiss...and what a wonderful death it was, over and over and over.

Very awesome read. I like how your writing flows together, to make me visualize everything that's going on. Many stories on here do that, and that's why most of the stories I read on here are good because you all are very talented and gifted, I visualized everything as I was reading it. Great writing. I was wondering can you check out my story.
