She Was The Third Beer

“She was the third beer. 

Not the first one, which the throat receives 

with almost tearful gratitude;

 nor the second, that confirms and extends 

the pleasure of the first. 

But the third, the one you drink because it's there, 

because it can't hurt, and because 

what difference does it make?”

~ Toni Morrison, Song of Solomon

I Just...

it is because I love you to a point of 

passion that unhinges my soul.”

You Couldn't Just Pick and Choose

“You couldn't just pick and choose at will when 

someone depended on you, or loved you. 

It wasn't like a light switch, easy to turn on or off. 

If you were in, you were in. Out, you were out.”

― Sarah Dessen, Along for the Ride

Wanting Him to Come Back

The kind of girl, who kept her head in the clouds, 

loved above the stars and left regret 

beneath the earth she walked on.”

~ Robert M Drake

The Words ‘I Love You’

“The words ‘I Love You’ kill,

 I left a poem in your mouth, 

and you can hear some of the lines 

every time you breathe out.”
