“Someday, we will learn how

to stop hurting ourselves

because pain is not

the only emotion

worthy of our being.”

Is being in a relationship hard work? Yes.

Do you write love poems for your lover?

Every day.”

“I am writing for

the women

who keep kneeling

screaming at their phone

as lovers leave

as friends depart

i am writing for

all these women

who still

show up

with a smile

after battling their demons

the night before.”

with the smell of that woman – that jezebel.” ... “stay, you endure

he is your husband,

you endure”
