milk and honey

мы все были рождены такими красивыми. великая трагедия заключается в том, что нас убедили в обратном.

there is a difference between someone telling you
they love you and
them actually
loving you

она была розой
в руках тех,
кто не собирался за ней ухаживать.

.

she was a rose
in the hands of those who had no intention of keeping her

we are all born
so beautiful

the greatest tragedy is
being convinced we are not

if you are not enough for yourself
you will never be enough
for someone else

i want to remain so
rooted to the ground
these tears
these hands
these feet
sink in

13. do not beg for what does not want to stay

• stop crying at some point
• allow yourself to feel foolish for believing you

• breathe

that is when the cowardice sets in. that is when the
person you thought they were is replaced by the sad
reality of what they are. that is when they lose every
fi ghting bone in their body and leave after saying you
will find better than me

любовь придет.
когда это случится,
любовь окликнет тебя,
любовь позовет тебя по имени,
любовь растопит твое сердце,
и как бывает иногда,
любовь разобьет его вдребезги.
но никогда нарочно
любовь не играет в игры,
ведь любовь знает, что жизнь
и без того тяжела.

он не вернётся,
шепнул мне разум,
он должен,
всхлипнуло сердце.

я полный ценностей музей,
но ты закрыл свои глаза.

благодарю вселенную
за то, что забрала
все, что было отобрано,
и подарила мне
все, что было даровано.

ты манил своей красотой,
но уколол, как только я приблизилась.

ведь это твоя кровь
течет в моих венах.
скажи же мне, как
я могу позабыть.

the next time you
have your coffee black
you'll taste the bitter
state he left you in
it will make you weep
but you'll never
stop drinking
you'd rather have the
darkest parts of him
than have nothing

i do not want to have you
to fill the empty parts of me
i want to be full on my own
i want to fill so complete
i could light a whole city
and then
i want to have you
cause the two of us combined
could set it on fire

more than anything
i want to save you
from myself

you were so distant
i forgot you were there at all

stay strong through your pain
grow flowers from it
you have helped me
grow flowers out of mine so
bloom beautifully
dangerously
loudly
bloom softly
however you need
just bloom
