shit and sad metaphors
[27.05.17 20:34] for these past months I've been swallowing my I love yous, I think I might catch stomach ache Somedays I can't seem to understand how you can exist outside the constellation of my arms And overnight when I feel myself falling I'm just able to hold on the knots that forms on my throat, until I'm not able to And that's unfair How you are someone else's sun Someone else's star While I just can't help but feel as if my constellation is hollow I wonder if I'm gonna be able to ever again gaze another sunset and compare its beauty with the way you make me feel.

sehnsucht.
I know his body is tired  and his hair is grey with the weight of time and knowledge but I want to ask him to stay I want to run my hands through his hair a little longer because he looks as innocent as his name I want to ask him not to leave me yet But I know he's not mine, I knew from the moment I met him that he's only here for a certain amount of time I want to hold back the tears as I look at him in the eyes He's too good, too kind and I know it's almost time for him to go I hope he knows that I loved him until the very last second until his eyes couldn't focus on a thing anymore until the moment where his heart gave up on him until the last beep of that **** machine I hope he's some kind of proud I hope he once loved me too

here is the repeated image of the lover destroyed.
you'll come back because ghosts always do that, they tend to haunt the houses they left you'll get close to me and say how much you care about me while you're caressing my arm and i can only look at the way your skin is getting tan and old and how mine is looking a little more pale and dead than yours as if I am the ghost but I am not (I am, after all, the haunted house) you have lost weight you have lost your hair and that charming self you used to be but you haven't lost the ability to make me cry every time you leave

If you look under my bed you'll probably find the versions of me you never loved, I'm planning on joining them soon.

labyrinthine
there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too tough for him, I say, stay in there, I'm not going to let anybody see you. there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I pur whiskey on him and inhale cigarette smoke and the ****** and the bartenders and the grocery clerks never know that he's in there. there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too tough for him, I say, stay down, do you want to mess me up? you want to ***** up the works? you want to blow my book sales in Europe? there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too clever, I only let him out at night sometimes when everybody's asleep. I say, I know that you're there, so don't be sad. then I put him back, but he's singing a little in there, I haven't quite let him die and we sleep together like that with our secret pact and it's nice enough to make a man weep, but I don't weep, do you?

cloud suicide.
I remember the first time my mom asked about you I said: "He looks like something I don't want to survive" and I guess I didn't
