“a daughter should
not have to
beg her father
for a relationship”
― Rupi Kaur, Milk and honey

“what am i to you he asks
i put my hands in his lap
and whisper you
are every hope
i've ever had
in human form”
― Rupi Kaur, Milk and honey

“you look just like your mother

i guess i do carry her tenderness well

you both have the same eyes

cause we are both exhausted

and the hands

we share the same wilting fingers

but that rage your mother doesn't wear that rage

you're right
this rage is the one thing
i get from my father”
― Rupi Kaur, Milk and honey

“i didn't know why
i split myself open
for other knowing
sewing myself up
hurts this much
afterward”
― Rupi Kaur, Milk and honey
