Lucy Christopher
There were tiny stars behind my eyelids, a whole galaxy of tiny, spinning stars.
Lucy Christopher
I thought you wanted to catch a camel, you tried again. No. I want to. Well, you go then. You laughed. I want your beautiful face where I can see it
Lucy Christopher
This be OK?' I asked, innocently. 'You want me to have no skin left?' You rolled your eyes. Actually, don't answer that one.
Lucy Christopher
The land wants you here. I want you here, you called. Don't you care about that at all?
Lucy Christopher
You looked at me, your eyes huge. You we're like a dog then, waiting for me to throw you a bone . . . waiting for something I could never give you.
Lucy Christopher
