I don't know life... I know words and they made me live
It scares you to be happy but that is exactly what broke your heart. You told me not to face the ground, dig my head into the sand, why can't you take a look up anyhow?

Dig up
Feelings are very confusing and complicated for me. It takes me years of bitterness and haterd to realize love. Months to understand sadness. And decades to feel any sort of emotions. Until I see feelings whether they were mine or belonged to someone feeling any towards me, I spend my days smoking them out. And by the time I realize, its little too late!

Hey, I don't know your address. I hope you never read this. My therapist says that this is the way to get it all out of my head. I was under the impression that writing to someone ended in burning the evidence. That it was a kind of healing ritual. Cleansed by the flames. But no, electronic almost-correspondence appears to be the answer. Here goes: I got drunk today. It seemed like the thing to do. There was a couch, it was grey. Yeah, that one. The red wine stain is still on the underside of the cushion cover. I prefer white. I sat on the couch. That's what they're for, couches, so not much of a surprise, I guess. But I don't know what to say, I'm filling the void with obvious facts. I didn't even use a wine glass. I filled a pink mug full to the top. Had to sip off the rim of it so it didn't overflow as I carried it into the sitting room. With the bottle of wine, of course. And I drank. So I'm drunk now. I keep laughing. Of course, I'm not a happy drunk, but everything is wrong anyway. There's no one around to tell me to shut up, for one thing. Not that I would mind if there was. It would fill the silence. A silence punctuated with pathetic little giggles, as I mentioned before. I'm not sure what I'm laughing at. Could be the man outside yelling at his car, the alarm has been on for an hour now. Maybe it's the fact that you took the kettle with you, and I haven't bought a new one. I make tea in the microwave now. Ridiculous. I don't like you. Not at all. I don't like the way that you can't seem to say anything of importance and I don't like the way that your absence is like it's like being stabbed, but that's not enough I feel like I don't have the right to claim that kind of physical pain, I don't feel like I have the right to cry or even walk out my own front door for some reason, and for some reason I was not good enough for you even though neither of us tried our best because we thought we were enough but we weren't and I don't have the words to describe what you are to me, or what you were to me, only that grocery-store sushi used to be that pathetic thing you bought at past-eleven-pm-sometime and now I hate it so much that it's the only thing I can eat and I I don't need you. I don't. It's impossible for me to need you, in the scientific, explainable rational sense. But explain it for me, please.

let's fall tragically in love drink too much and then fall tragically in lust because I would like to stop and take a break from destiny- I would like to pause and stop who I must be, for just a moment, let it go, forget it all, make this night like it never happened, no rewinds marked from the record, just kiss me, for now; I'm tired of being dependable ***** filling expectations and following the path moral obligations and saying the right thing at the right time I'm tired of being looked up to 'oh, maddie, with the good morals' **** being respectable **** being responsible **** having a reputation **** it all- just **** me.

Close the tab — I want to be a writer. Not because I'm mightier than you, but because it's all I know how to do.

Whenever I think of you, My lungs lapses to respire. Whenever I think of you, My heart forgets to pound. They say "at least we are under the same sky and we gaze at the same shooting stars and crescent moon" But what if... That was not enough. What if, my soul was not fulfilled with romanticized sadness. What if, I'm drained and shriveled from this sadistic sadness. What if, the texture of your hair and the shining pearls in your eyes were enthralling for me. And what if, you were all that to my soul, and I, only seeked to be... complete. Only seeked to touch you, tumble between your arms; to fall in your heart. These words, were carved on the curves of my lips... And left me to fumble whenever I surrounded you. Whenever I think of you, It is a never ending sadness. Because I crave to worship you... You do not crave the same. In fact, You do not crave me at all.

what if (pt. 2)
May I dream of you again? Can I dream of you tonight? Will I dream of you soon? Would you let me dream of you? I wish I can stay stuck in a dream for a little while, to hold your hand. I'm exhausted of tumbling around looking; for a face that cannot be found. I'm here without you, and they tell me it is never too late... But what if it is? What if you are gone forever, now? What do I do, then?

You
I miss you... I can't get a hold of you... In my dreams... In my life. But I get ghosts of you following me around, invading my thoughts... Conscious... Unconsciously... I am blessed with a curse. You are everywhere near me, Yet I can't enjoy the simple pleasures with you. Like, touch you... And that, I find myself craving more than to breathe air or eat a meal. Keep visiting my dreams, I don't know what would I do without you there.
