serene//

like the lingering taste of vodka on my lips 

     or the deep set feel of chilly winter nights etched in the hollows of my bones, 

              you linger on me in the same way. 

like the cold heavy breaths and inward shivers sent up my spine 

       from the frozen ground and sidelong glances 

              you linger on me in the same way. 
like the ever present silence in the rise and fall of my head as your steady breaths             perfectly echo the second hand on the clock with the intentions of no tomorrow, 
             you linger on me in the same way.

today is a tuesday. i am finished with school and so i'm pretty much free. of course except, being in the family that i am, my mother didn't really let me go anywhere and so i had to stay home with my sister. my friend came over though. we //tangoed// and ordered a bunch of things. pizza, bread, chicken wings and sausage rolls. we didn't stick to our first plan, which was to "jog around my neighborhood". anyways, i had a dilemma on whether to cut my fringe or not. then i saw scissors in front of me and the thought of cutting it became intriguing. i don't regret it. although it does make me look younger. 

i felt bad for my friend because i 'accidentally' fell asleep. i don't regret it though. it was such a rejuvenating and peaceful slumber. i needed that. anyways, that shall be it for today. xo
