Pull your lover's tampon out, dip your fingers in their blood. You watch horror films and read articles about shootings; you can't help but stare at a car accident on the side of the road. Some people dig into their own skin for the thrill, others beat each other up at punk shows. We're fascinated by gore as it doesn't exist but you won't touch me when you find out my body is functioning correctly. Pick at your scabs and tend to your bloody nose; your black eye is "cool" but my menstruation is unsettling? Well I think that's a load of shit because women are some of the strongest people I've ever known. Red is a damn good color and I'll paint my walls with it if I want to.
in love
