"In the Library," Dorothea Grossman
The library always smells like this: an ancient stew of vinegar and wood. It’s autumn again, and I can do anything.
Hi, I was wondering if any of you could help me find a poem. It was written by a woman telling her stories with men she has had relationships with, but how she never felt truly happy with them. It included the line “I drown men in the sea of me” or something similar to that. I'm sorry if I'm being kind of vague, this is all I can remember and I would really like to read that poem again. If you can't help me, I'll understand. Thank you!
i don’t know but it sounds like something i would like to read - sorry!

How To Pretend It Doesn’t Hurt, by Ashe Vernon (via morozovaaleksander)
you are a horse running alone and he tries to tame you compares you to an impossible highway to a burning house says you are blinding him that he could never leave you forget you want anything but you you dizzy him, you are unbearable every woman before or after you is doused in your name you fill his mouth his teeth ache with memory of taste his body just a long shadow seeking yours but you are always too intense frightening in the way you want him unashamed and sacrificial he tells you that no man can live up to the one who lives in your head and you tried to change didn’t you?
closed your mouth more tried to be softer prettier less volatile, less awake but even when sleeping you could feel him travelling away from you in his dreams so what did you want to do, love? split his head open? you can’t make homes out of human beings someone should have already told you that and if he wants to leave then let him leave you are terrifying and strange and beautiful something not everyone knows how to love
