blueberry boy
He was blue-black, lanky and uneasy with a tight
jaw and fists that flinched constantly. He was angry a lot except
when he was with me. And when I was with him, I was soft and wanted.
We met after my first love left me. Caramel had given me his ultimatum so I gave him my body. He broke my heart. Blueberry boy overwhelmed me. He consumed me. I was a little frighten how much he wanted me, but he wanted me and that's all that matters to a desperate girl. At fifteen I couldn't see destruction was the only end. Meeting blueberry boy was like eating ice cream on a hot summer day and not worrying that my thighs would get fatter.

Oh to eat ice cream and not worry about my thighs...I had forgotten there used to be days like that. Sigh.
