“sex takes the consent of two
if one person is lying there not doing anything
cause they are not ready
or not in the mood
or simply don't want to
yet the other is having sex
with their body it's not love
it is rape”
― 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

“he only whispers i love you as he slips his hands down the waistband of your pants. this is where you must understand the difference between want and need—you may want that boy but you certainly don't need him”
― 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
