star chaser
her tears taste like honeydew with a336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRQmQxYXK5
hint of extraterrestrial redshifting.336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl75LgegHc
she walks with the grace of moonlight336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAoyJJ4PUP
and has eyes like protostars.336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdzg0wXEjw
she’s not quite up to societal standards,336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vS65GVzae
and she lives in the future, not the past.336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOkobeTyeI
i still chase after her anyways,336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrbMxBcmA1
tail wagging, tongue lolling like the dog i am.336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBD4mo9muV

about how it would look better curled.336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaj5B8xyVM
(i curled it into long ringlets.)336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06FVwThgcy
then she said it would be better short336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPemYS9RAF
(i chopped it all off with a swiss army knife.)336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMWBzqlkO3
it’s been bleached, stained, and cut336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0VV4fN76E
in all manners of ways.336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGZmHNJBai
(still it was never enough.)
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UERK5fusf
“who taught you to hate your freckles?”336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxI6r0MdDGv
she did, tracing constellations on my cheeks336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw9k3VhBAf
with a permanent red sharpie until it looked like336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHa33sWkP6
i had wept thousands of scarlet tears.336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvME5SmjrHw
(i spent all night scrubbing it to no avail.336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbugzx6b6n

336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbxkvHbimi
“who taught you to hate your skin?”336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplWrcraQOy
she did, with her languid tongue and336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRNjRYGqgZ
knife-sharp jabs. too pale, not tan enough,336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRdrnxO4OS
she said, running fingers down my arm,336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqhXJpDkG3
like a vampire, coming to suck blood.336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCazgJxwDg
(i dug my nails into what made up my outsides336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8wJMuVO8P
and tried to pry it off my very bones.)336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA68Rq1uUR
i’m was left with only scars.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2LGIG1bTb
“who taught you to hate your bones?”336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXf0PGYbAi
she did in late nights spent curled together336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8vwbviZua
in the back of my pick up truck, poking336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl049RlfDa4
and prodding at my body, saying that336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInMPryU9Mf
i must be pretty big-boned to weigh so heavy.336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcPhJ7T8wp
(i dug my fingernails into my thigh, peeling back flesh336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vQFlWbECG
until i could claw away at the bone hidden beneath.)336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2jDY13huI
the hospital tutted and bandaged me up,336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9boMLffEnQ
and stuck me into a small box with a self-proclaimed336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zAC3N3eRq
therapist whose only job was to make me feel worse.
336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEUcARnZDK

and sketchy answers. late night calls336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6XCgNhyLx
of ‘i love you’s’ and tired apologies336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYArWLv4MVy
when it was never truly my fault.336Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoXE1cE9lK
