-2 days ago I would have gladly killed myself to stay alive. And that's all I have to say

-My favorite color was you

-Your eyes say more than your mouth ever could

-These violent delights have violent
ends

-"There's this look of somber on your face when you day dream", he said quietly. "Really?", she asked with stars in her eyes.

-Sunshine ripe tide dancin' all alone in the morning light
It's been snowing all day
And it won't stop anytime soon
When it snows the world
Gets this somber feeling
Like maybe things will be okay

Doesn't everyone love a good snow storm?

Lunar
crashing:
              tear stains on the pillow
                               i imagine ocean waves

flowing:
              shadows on the wall
                                i imagine jet-black ink

dripping:
              raindrops on my window
                                i imagine foot steps

drowning:
             in a tall glass of water
                                i imagine you

all these happening:
             whenever i drink
                                 a glass of you
cheers again to wjh, for being the only tall glass of water i'll ever need. it's wine for you, and water for me.

fika
you left me there
between foreign moons
and unknown stars
my mind
knows
it’s done,
we’re over.

yet,
my heart
still beat,
it seeks

—for you
All I need to do
Is wait 42 more days
And then I'll be gone
To the state I miss the most
Tennessee.

I'm leaving and I can't wait
