“if he can't help but
degrade other women
when they're not looking
if toxicity is central to his language
he could hold you
in his lap and be soft
honey
that man could feed you sugar and
douse you in rose water
but that still could not
make him sweet

-if you want to know what the type of man he is”
― Rupi Kaur, Milk and honey

“i am hopelessly
a lover and
a dreamer and
that will be the
death of me”
― Rupi Kaur, Milk and honey

“the next time you
have your coffee black
you'll taste the bitter state he left you in
it will make you weep
but you'll never
stop drinking
you'd rather have the
darkest parts of him
than have nothing”
― Rupi Kaur, Milk and honey

“The kindest words my father said to me
Women like you drown oceans.”
