This is a set of two poems :3 121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXLFfQFcTL
(First on love, second on heartbreak.)
star chaser
her tears taste like honeydew with a121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1SaPhkeGd
hint of extraterrestrial redshifting.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkZJ4OaDk3
she walks with the grace of moonlight121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz6DTqdKaJ
and has eyes like protostars.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mcpcggkF0
she’s not quite up to societal standards,121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l8RIWfSSD
and she lives in the future, not the past.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpko4pfaUE
i still chase after her anyways,121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOAKHpeKIs
tail wagging, tongue lolling like the dog i am.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotUmvjTVFH

who taught you to hate?
“who taught you to hate your hair?”121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESthtDdHyL
she did, with her idle remarks121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZZMM7Wi66
about how it would look better curled.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbwcLlU7Xb
(i curled it into long ringlets.)121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEVCDt9RJp
then she said it would be better short121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10pjaLTo48
(i chopped it all off with a swiss army knife.)121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBQoV37d3S
it’s been bleached, stained, and cut121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAucoVkErK
in all manners of ways.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hS7Hhsf4Z
(still it was never enough.)
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBG3WakVEP
“who taught you to hate your freckles?”121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKnOcngpAw
she did, tracing constellations on my cheeks121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92J5vZq6oR
with a permanent red sharpie until it looked like121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAayzet7CYk
i had wept thousands of scarlet tears.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVji02xTp9H
(i spent all night scrubbing it to no avail.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2spkd6MWU
she offered no help, only a faint smile at my struggles.)
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHNJG8u28b
“who taught you to hate your skin?”121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaPVkv6ThR
she did, with her languid tongue and121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGDkCK1zGd
knife-sharp jabs. too pale, not tan enough,121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cnlCw9xu3
she said, running fingers down my arm,121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt1dCDQNo5
like a vampire, coming to suck blood.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN7m7AzmsP
(i dug my nails into what made up my outsides121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PCHISb9nK
and tried to pry it off my very bones.)121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe5rcYFRVn
i’m was left with only scars.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1Tdei0hRg
“who taught you to hate your bones?”121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPdrqNmgT6
she did in late nights spent curled together121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj55JuufqB
in the back of my pick up truck, poking121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5Lp3V1Aks
and prodding at my body, saying that121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5c2MpjpWE
i must be pretty big-boned to weigh so heavy.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk4X02N3iE
(i dug my fingernails into my thigh, peeling back flesh121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA1ogUwJ7t
until i could claw away at the bone hidden beneath.)121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CVWZY6QAI
the hospital tutted and bandaged me up,121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIbsraZibB
and stuck me into a small box with a self-proclaimed121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGceu7HbE21
therapist whose only job was to make me feel worse.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86siElMO9H
“who taught you to hate yourself?”121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjkSVjjQLD
she did with her loaded gun questions121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ub5za3Ydf
and sketchy answers. late night calls121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktAmfId3YD
of ‘i love you’s’ and tired apologies121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKxl4ze17k
when it was never truly my fault.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlExWwFe0pH
she taught me to hate myself.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKdKbGYS6C
(what is love if not another form of hate?)
