A Memo From Curios dear readers, today I treated myself to a can of treats. what will you do for yourself? unfortunately, no one sent me cards or flowers, but i'm contented enough with staying indoors, away from the sun... lots of meows, Curios Curios' song recommendations for Valentine's Day: 'The Joker And The Queen' by Ed Sheeran (feat. Taylor Swift) 'Dandelions' by Ruth B. 'Fields Of Gold' by Emi Fujita Those secret letters by anon. At school when we sneak peeks, literally Jupiter between us, a voyage we have yet to make At home when we shout across the telephone wires & we imagine us like elephants in rose blush, cherubs hit by Cupid and comically struggling mouths tied shut with red string a plane crash's desperation to hear voices for all the graduation speeches I have yet to make i couldn't do to you would be all the more charming on that hypothetical Jupiter come over & see me mistake the inside of a toaster for Apocalypse Day the city lights that surf over math homework for UFO lights You won't see this but i'll be wishing you were here recover. by Nina Anin The afterglow of a sun drifts to sleep outside my window a yellow trumpet flower sings lullabies to the thrush I've been burning bridges for the day arson in handbags, deep scarlet lipsticks can't say the ships won't sail out if I defied you can't say there won't be midnight waltzes if I continued into the wormhole, you on the other side but there won't be lavender on my pillows tonight Tell me I'll carry my secrets to the grave, whisper them in the deep womb of a coffin I'll stay home with my ten cats who knows, maybe someday you'll come knocking until then, live in my scrapbooks, locked diaries it'll be nice if u can text once Signed, Juliette Melancholy After Sunrise by Kazzari Attached To You by Kazzari Here Without You by Kazzari Summer fling by Grace Sinkins I remember all those early july nights The ones where you would throw rocks at my window begging me to sneak out with you We would watch the stars as you would play me songs you wrote on your acoustic guitar I would laugh at your singing voice but you didn’t care Your honey eyes were easy to drown in There’s no disease as contagious as your smile From the moment I met you weeks before at some stupid party Your enchanted charm was all I could think about I knew I took up pieces of your mind too You would text me telling me you missed me at least twice an hour I was like medicine to you I healed your wounds You were like oxygen to me I needed you to stay alive That’s the difference between you and I To you I was a distraction from the pain But you were my lifeline Who would I be without you Those nights turned into days which turned into weeks I gave you my soul all wrapped in a bouquet You took it carefully and poured it into your songs You told me your secrets Which I guarded like gold You begged me to not tell the world about us I reluctantly agreed No one has to know about us until school starts The excitement of the mystery was overshadowed by my worrying insecurity If I’m his muse than he would want to show me off Not shove me off and only appreciate me when no one else is around Your more than everything to me So why am I not enough The summer soon ended and we broke it off Did all those songs and rocks and secrets mean nothing Was I just a punchline to tell your friends what you did over the summer I miss what we had I’m better off without you now I was your medicine But you are no longer sick You were my oxygen Now the world is tight on my lungs
