I bought a book called "what we talk about when we talk about love"
My friend Will talks about
Katherine
how she disappeared in the middle of the night with his suitcase and her bad intentions and
left behind her trust issues for him to keep
his mouth is always full of blood.
Kate talks about
Daren
how he took his heart and put it in his mouth
crushed it underneath his molars and swallowed the blood
Threw it up the next night and pretended not to notice
She keeps clawing at his empty chest, hoping, praying, like that might bring it back.
Jane talks about
Sarah
how she was all road maps
all street signs
how she could never figure out how to stop running
how her feet are bloody from trying to keep up.
I don't talk about
anything.
