Why Can't You Stay Just Long Enough To Explain?

I've come to accept the arrival of the morning, and everything it brings.

It's Pretty Dirty Business

"It is not enough to conquer; one must know how to seduce."

-Voltaire

Don't Say We're Healing When That's Just Not What We Do

I [I have been lied to.]

Love [Love was my excuse for letting this happen again.]

You [You hurt me more than you'll ever know.]

I Won't Be Saved

I've become a terribly interesting person. In one of the worst ways.

I'm not sure if I like this or hate it.

Was I granted a wish or given a curse?

If it's the latter-- damn, this is a fun curse.

Just To Keep Our Desires Alive

"I'm never going to be famous. My name will never be writ large on the roster of Those Who Do Things. I don't do any thing. Not one single thing. I used to bite my nails, but I don't even do that any more."

-Dorothy Parker

Is That Your Love Down On The Ground?

"I like everything. Boyish girls, girlish boys, the heavy and the skinny. Which is a problem when I'm walking down the street."

-Angelina Jolie

Do We Step Into The Light?

"With your little claws, Lolita."

-Humbert in Vladamir Nabokov's Lolita

You Can Make This Very Easy

Mercy fuck?

Pathetic.

Still An Obsession

Can you get bored with love?

We Will Take Our Dreams Straight to the Grave

"She thinks she can warn the stars. /
A writer is essentially a spy. /
Dear love, I am that girl."

~from Anne Sexton's poem, The Black Art

Here's How It Sounds

"Be in love with your life"

-Jack Kerouac, Belief and Technique for Modern Prose

I Don't Think Contrast Is A Sin

If this is what you're ashamed of,

then I just might be ashamed of you.

And Now You've Come Along

I'm still getting used to all of this.

I Won't Be Around Here For Too Very Long

Me: I love you so much, Id never do anything that you didnt want me to
Them: i love you too, and theres not much i wouldnt want you to do
Them: but i'd be like totally heartbroken if you cheated on me. but i dont think you would ever do that.
Them: i wouldnt love you any less. but i'd be crying 24/7 for the rest of my life.
Me: thats something I never want to do. But you see my problem right? I suck at resisting. But I swear Id want to kill myself if I cheated on you.
Me: I wouldnt be able to stand myself, and I'd hate what you might think of me, even if you didnt say it
Me: so i dont think Id have the guts to do it

You Ask Me What It Feels Like...I Say That I Don't Know Better

Why do I always end up attracted to the self-destructive types? It's a pattern I know I should break but not just yet...I want to have my story.

I'm Not Selling Cheap

"We go to art to learn the unlearnable, experience the / unexperienceable."

-Dean Young

...And The Sky Is Deeper Than A Dream

"Make up your minds that happiness depends on being free, and freedom depends on being courageous."

-Pericles

I'm Your Angel Undercover

1. Friends suck at being able to tell when you want them to give you advice, or simply, support you.

2. I've been a firm believer in "Nothing is unconditional" and now I'm faced with it.

3. I am aware now.

4. I think I'll put it in my vows never to read a marriage self-help book.

5. Thanks to this person, my life will never be the same. Wow.

I’m Getting Tired of Starting Again Somewhere New

News: A verbal punch to the gut and my face is pale, my eyes are full of tears and another threatening cloud of darkness takes over my blue sky.

Please let it pass me by.

Fault Lines Should Be Worn With Pride

Love: I've fallen into it and I can't get up. Damn.
