You smell like cigarettes and wild spice.
You smell like home.
We have bloody feet from
walking on the broken parts that
we drop, when we speak.
But you are good at the right moments.
The moments where all I need,
is my hands held.
Or a cheesy awkward smile.
Or when you stand close enough, so
that I am reminded, of what home smells like.
You.
Cigarettes.
Wild Spice.
Engine oil, and body wash.
I love you.
We are imperfect.
And, that is alright.

What I like about your words is that they are so beautifully and sometimes bluntly direct and honest. No pretence, just simple.
There’s a real purity to it that I really like.

I have a tattoo… about my story on my calf. At the very bottom, it says : Say what you man, and mean what you say.
So… thank you. Being direct is the only way to be , in my opinion, and blunt words are possible even if they are beautifully put. Again, thank you for reading.

I just recently had a tattoo. It tells a lot about me too. It’s on one of my posts. Less direct than yours!

The post or the tattoo is less direct? 🙂

Probably both. I also like this place as a safe place to express, but you are fearless and I’m a way off that. 🙂

Haha! Me blaming Apple. I rarely use a pc so mostly I do all my WP on my phone, sometimes an Android tablet. The nuances drive me nuts!

Mine didn’t really hurt. Just tickled and stung a bit now and then.

… sent you two posts.
Yes, I think you have to have a string constitution and a desire to inflict pain. Both of which I have 🙂 BUT… teeth?? No.. *gag*
