“He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.”<br /> ― Friedrich Nietzsche


most of the times my heart is cascading, tumultous water

rushing rhythmically against my ribcage

but in a rare sunglow-lit moment

you touch the upper corner of my cheek

right below my eye, brushing my mole

and my heart feels as fragile as the fluttering of a dove's wings

as if it might break at any second

like fine porcelein with a distinct 

grandmother-ly smell

too easy to slip and shatter

I've been listening to a lot of girl in red lately. Maybe too much...
