Last night I bled for the future. Incapacitated by my love for you. This is the kind of theater of life where art and reality blend. I created something out of nothing, sweat and skin and bruised kisses transformed into a little beating heart.
It's insane what love can do to us. In the elevator that morning the women were comparing black eyes from their lovers, saying but my man is stronger than yours and the nurse grunted in disgust. It's that kind of harsh love that drives the killer in us,makes the mothers out of us, learns the addiction in us like a shot of dope.This love has no language except survival.
The kind of love as real as bloodstains.

It makes the whole world look just like a beautiful circus when you're around.

Love, Lily

P.s. Go check out my interview with film-makers Eric Juhola, Jeremy Stulberg, and Randy Stulberg where I talk to them about documentary film-making and the story behind their newest project "Nowhere Kids" which I am so greatful to have been a part of NowhereKids, and leave a comment! <3
