The Indigo Spell, Richelle Mead

“Dig your teeth into me. Come on, I dare you. Take a bite. Open me up: raw and candyfloss pink on the inside. Make it hurt. I figure, you’re going to hurt me one way or another. Might as well be with your mouth.”

— IT’S A CIRCUS AND WE ALL PAID TO BE HERE,by Ashe Vernon (via latenightcornerstore)

I don’t know how to live in this world lightly.

Some memories I grip too tight,

Some crush my shoulders.
