if there's one thing that i wish i cld take from you

it's that.

quotes:

>she's so close to him,
>smelling the tobacco stench
>bedded in his mouth, she decides
>to turn and face their window. her
>hair is matted from years of half-assed
>combing and lack of conditioner,
>she scratches it
>to somehow remove the thought of him.
>*it's so crowded in here* she lies
>in bed knowing he'll wake up
>wanting to play with her pussy
>before their alarm sounds. he snores,
>calling his ancestors to their room
>and closing the space between them;
>her only thought is *i got to
>get away* chained to him for
>6 years and counting, she has
>lost her smell. the woman she
>once knew has packed herself up
>and gone to heights she'll never
>reach.
>
>he awakens. arms rustic and tinman-like;
>he adjusts the string in his jammies,
>slaps his lips together, and pulls
>her deep into his chest. she
>cannot escape his hold, his grip,
>his smell. she cannot escape
>this life.
