“It’s just so strange.
You used to love me,
and now you’re a stranger
who happens to know all
of my secrets.”
― Clementine von Radics

“But my heart is an old house
(the kind my mother
grew up in)
hell to heat and cool
and faulty in the wiring
and though it’s nice to look at
I have no business
inviting lovers in.”
― Clementine von Radics

“All this time
I drank you like the cure when maybe
you were the poison.”
― Clementine von Radics

“I think I like my brain best
in a bar fight with my heart.
I think I like myself a little broken,
with rough edges, a little harder
to grasp. I like poetry
better than therapy anyway.
The poems never judge me
for healing wrong.”
― Clementine von Radics, Mouthful of Forevers
