read for the first time 3 years ago i still about it all the time. this was my full personality at 14, some of the most beautiful poetry i have ever read its so breathtaking. my favourites are i had a dream about you, seaside improvisation, snow and dirty rain and planet of love.

“You had a bottle of pills but I wouldn’t let you swallow them. You said Will you love me even more when I'm dead? and I said No, and I threw the pills on the sand. Look at them, you said. They look like emeralds.”
