He's solid. You're fractured. He's hopeful. You're hopeless. He's always there. You're half there. He's faithful. You're so not. He's giving. You're afraid to give. He's honest. You lie all the time. He's loving. You don't know how to love.

Was the fun in the fall?
Ellen Hopkins
Image
Now that I have opened that bottle of memories they're pouring out like wine, crimson and bittersweet.
Ellen Hopkins

Your hurt swallows ine, like space swallows time, and the two intertwine. We tangle together.
Ellen Hopkins
