LOVE'S REQUIEM

the intimacy of sleeping together, but not in a sexual way. the intimacy of feeling the warmth of their body in a cool room. their hands hugging you tightly. the intimacy of synchronized breathing. sleepy half-kisses. feeling safe. feeling warm. waking up and realizing how much you love them. how precious this is. finding the happiness on the tip of your fingers, brushing their hair. closing your eyes again. pulling closer. falling asleep.

I want my rapist dead. I want every rapist dead. The only rapist that will never rape again is a dead rapist. You're an idiot if you think they can be rehabilitated.

may every woman in iran taste freedom may every woman in afghanistan may every woman in congo taste freedom may every woman in sudan taste freedom may every woman in palestine taste freedom may every woman in the world be liberated
