      acknowledgments

      All good things are done in threes.

      To my sister, who called me an author before anyone else

      To my Sable, who inspires my inner Sappho

      To the ao3 community, who taught me to love my writing

      My deepest desire remains having my poems be your fic titles one day

      I want so badly to be loved

      but I am blind to such a thing

      Agony is the lie

      of saying never again

      as you pick up the phone

      I once thought I would not see

      glimmers of light

      so long as they did not see me

      childish

      you cannot
