the feminine urge to do a body check every time i stand infront of a mirror
Take my hand, I love you. Let me in, I love you. You won't scare me away, I love you. You're not hard to love, I love you. Don't be scared, I love you.

"I love you" = boring, common, overused
"I'm going to eat you alive' = peak of romance, creative, expresses unending love & devotion effectively
Send these to your ex or something
and i breathe hard because there's something primal about kissing blood you drew — holding the goods you broke, swallowing someone else's loss.
