please be gentle with yourself

me and your ghost sittin' in a tree, m-i-s-s-i-n-g, first comes loss then comes denial then comes a phone that never answers when you dial

i have been lost in a whirlwind of nostalgia. i reminisce of the days my socked feet floated dreamily down our creaky stairs as my mother awaited me with pancakes and wide arms. remembering the days when her smile wrapped around my skin; still the warmest thing i've ever felt

the strumming of a violin has broke me more times than i can count, but maybe this all goes back to the time i stole my brother’s and broke a string before even having picked it up

[persephone @sunflxwr]

and one day the wind swept away all i didn’t need from the palms of these hands, i haven’t been so gracious since she touched me

@daintfuI i read this as air conditioning and this is why i have no friends

[persephone @sunflxwr]

sometimes i can taste my own sadness in the room, i’ve broken my back trying to lift it up and throw it out the door. my mother says it just reeks like whiskey but i’ve heard we adapt to smells after 8 minutes and i’ve been drunk for 8 days

@hangingmoons sounds fake

[persephone @sunflxwr]

i never realized what i deserved until i fell out of love with someone who talked about all the ways to take care of me and started falling in love with someone who just does it

[persephone @sunflxwr]

and i will miss you for too long

a timeline of the life you didn't want to live

my heart is a wolf

i said momma the sun stopped shining days ago, she said “cheer up baby it’s just a rainy couple days”. she‘s too worried to open my curtains or tell me how blue the sky has been all week . i say i’m sorry momma i’ll get up tomorrow i swear. she brings me my tea, she cries for me

[persephone @sunflxwr]

i still see you in the road, sometimes i have to slam on the brakes sometimes i have to swerve around your shadow sometimes people honk and then you were never there at all and sometimes i wish you always were

[persephone @sunflxwr]

i’ve been looking for the stillness in my palms since i turned 12. i said, please just keep it down, i have shit to do. i can’t live forever shakily in sadness.
i realized today i haven’t brushed my hair in 4 days. i put my hands under my thighs one more time

@SmokySunday it’s been too long

[persephone @sunflxwr]

by 10:30am, i’ve had 6 brandy shots and 2 green cigarettes, as my mother calls them. speaking of my mother, she says i still smell of the brandy from last night. here i am, almost drunk, i say “i didn’t drink that much last night, mama”. and she believes me, because i didn’t

@tessaschroff this is frickin incredible
