warmthofrelease Do you remember having nothing to lose?
Is it everything we thought it would be?

(August 2015)



The long war

The infinite caring machine
I would tell you some stories
But I don't care to remember them

anymore

(March 2016)



Remember when we used to say no to drugs?

(June 2016)



everyone makes mistakes
but they don't all make amends
remember that next time
you're sorting through your friends

(These Days)

on the word "slut"
I'm sorry

You say you[nonzero]'re a sore loser, I'm a sore loser too. Interacting with someone that I want but can't have. It's hard.

It would be one thing if I thought you were happy. But I don't.

You remember how I said I felt like you wanted me to be something else other than what I am? I guess what was more true was that you could only be my lover if I was something else. That specific goal was only achievable by something not-me.

I was trying too hard to hold on and I couldn't accept being in your life as something other than what I wanted us to be.

This hurts like hell.

just look at this youth

look at this summer sky
so abandoned with stars like empties on the battlefield
feel the power of this earth
from the driver's seat
70 miles per hour with your hand out the window
understand this coincidental contentedness
this accidental bliss

that is what you're going to remember

not this pain you carried with you
when you stumbled here
not the wounds which won't completely heal
it's not as if you've forgotten
all that's happened to you
as if it was untrue or could be untrue tomorrow
but that bliss
not of forgetting
but of plateauing
the bliss of the moment when your pain still exists
but does not matter

when you go
that's what you'll take with you

(August 2019)



and I don't want you to hate me
for all the things you remember
but I can't ask you to love me
for all the things I managed to hide
