Tags are hilarious. Tagger is clearly why my user title is what it is.
Again, pretty sloped piece here. Every first read I give your pieces - always turn out to be rollercoasters, each time after I become accustom to how you shuttle subtle nuances to be more connective.

but you're only a phase. a turn of delicate language

Going about passive aggression is one of your strengths in a bulk of your writing. Stockholm syndrome. You reiterate this silent hostility over and over, and it stresses how virulent strains of certain human interactions/relationships can be. I bolded what I mean in the quote above, you caress her jawline, whispering anything but sweet nothings as you do it. It's perfect - in the sense of aestheticizing the pain, [this comes to mind]
Fall of the damned(Hieronymus Bosch) and cocoons a hefty portion of how you convey emotion to writing.

is also pretty on the ball with what i said. It's great. I think we're trapped in this plaguing of constant need to be with affection. To have something mean something even when it doesn't. You create caricatures of what you want someone to be with them being entirely different. It get's lonely. So you regress. Boxcutter bonding.

know that you will never measure up to any of these
sad romantic beliefs i've preconceived. you are She

Oh yeah?
Again. This is just pure writing. Absolutely you. I picture glimpses of watery eyes as it's written. Sepia filter, ink blots from the pen. It's really just super interesting, intriguing writing that envelopes the reader. You develop tiny placements of emotion that open up cracks to the reader. Cracks they thought were probably closed/healed. Maybe you don't mean to do this - I'm sure you don't, but it's stylings are always refreshing.
Thanks bud.
